South Lakes Wild Animal Park Capuchin Monkey has escaped

It might not even be in Cumbria now:(, it might be down here in London, another part of the u.k or the worst case sinario is it has been stolen and has been taken out of the country:(, or sitting in an attic, garage or cellar, cold and dehydrated. Injured and possibly dying, so check your cellars attics and garages, fast.:eek:

If it was a female it might've been pregnant:) and be in a corner somewhere with some baby monkeys, so the quicker we(the public)/the police find it the better it is for the monkey and us, but they aren't always easy to find.

If you watched zoo days colchester and saw piora the monkey escape and be recaptured they mistaked a squirell for piora:eek:(who is a SQUIRELL monkey)that just goes to show how hard it is to find small monkeys because:
1)They are very energetic and bouncy
2)People can mistake other small mammals(that are wild nature)for zoo kept animals e.g. monkeys.
3)They have good camaflage
4)They are scared of humans and in most cases see us before we see them.
 
Wonder if he/she popped into Chester Zoo on it's way South. ;)

Monkey's might move fast but to get from Cumbria to London in 4 days this monkey would need a jet pack and a sat nav! :D If you could teach a monkey to use either then I'm sure you have a long and happy career as an Animal Trainer

I'm sure he/she won't be far from home :)
 
BTW Piora is a red bellied tamarin not a squirrel monkey!
Have you checked your garage/cellar/attic cheetahgirl? :rolleyes:
 
BTW, What would a Capuchin monkey be doing in my attic? All I have is some old pictures and toys up there. Though they are intelligent so I hope if it is, it will be sorting out all my old pictures for me :D

Dear friend Nisha , id like to thankyou for brightening up my day , ive been laughing hysterically at that joke for a whole 5 minutes you just said about the capuchin monkey, much to the bemusement of my wife. You have a great sense of humour , the very thought of a capuchin monkey hiking through the British countryside with a backpack , a thermos of tea and a satelight navigation system to get to London, wow its just so unbelievably hilarious. I hope i dont start giggling like an idiot in front of my learners tommorow at work.

No problem Jose :D

Have just been throughly searching my attic and my cellar. Didn't find a monkey in either but then I found a whole troop in the garden shed!! :rolleyes: Didn't know they bred quite so fast!

BTW the Sat Nav was Zooleopards idea :)
 
oh dear , i havent heard something so funny for a long time , my sides are splitting with laughter , good one Nisha and Zooleopard. I can just imagine you Nisha opening your shed door and seeing a dozen capuchin monkeys with rather anxious world weary expressions looking at you with pleading eyes to take them back to captivity,while a few give birth from exhaustion on the floor .
Sorry cheetah girl i dont mean to make light of your concern for the escaped capuchin monkeys well being ,but i think we have all found it slightly melodramatic , no offense intended , i hope your not offended.
 
Surely it would only need a satnav if it actually wanted to go to London rather than just randomly ending up there, maybe after hitching a ride.
 
Just checked my shed, only had my rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens in, but there was some menacing eyes in the back, seen a long tail as well... might get my species guide out.... could be the escapee monkey!! hahha so funny :)
 
this is so freaky...............................i was about to water my sunflowers today and i heard a capachin like noise and then the scream of a chimpanzee.:eek:
could this be the tip off we have all been waiting for or have i got my monkeys muddled up with my birds?
 
i have checked my garage/attic and cellar and tunred my house upside down:D.
no capachins but i did find an orangutan going through my fridge and a gorilla under my bed and the bigest surprise of all was they could speak english.:eek:

can u reasurre me that it hasn't been stolen and that it is still in england
 
...it's a cappuchin, it will come back when it's hungry, and obviously its gonna still be in england, it would get reported at airports if people where trying to export it.

All this drama for a cappuchin. God help us if something endangered went missing!
 
its not a domestic pet you know IT'S A WILD ANIMAL and it could be in serious danger:( and/or fighting for it's life:eek:. there might have been a reason for the escape:eek:
1)it could have been pregnant and thought the zoo was not private enough to give birth in
2) it could have been bullied by the rest of the troup and decided that it'd had enough

it might've been took to another country by ferry. and the monkey might not've spotted by the airport:eek:, but i suppose the poor thing would have buzzed them barrier thingys when the theif went through?

Im quite sure it might have heard the call of the wild , and hijacked a plane flight to Paris , then forced the pilot to fly to the rainforests of Brazil , where it will live the rest of its days in peace in its natrual state , and have children and grandchildren. Surely it will be pestered by its grandchildren to tell them stories of its adventures and daring escape from England.
 
The monkey's at South Lakes are clearly bored. Once they recapture the missing one I think they should start a (since they seem to be genius's at getting into attics and just about everywhere else ;):rolleyes: ) Loft conversion company. They would make a fortune by only paying the workforce in fruit and nuts ;) Lofts by Capuchin Conversions anyone? :rolleyes: :D

Please tell me that this post was an attempt at sarcasm. Not only was it horribly anthropormorphic and demonstrated a lack of basic knowledge on the behaviour of primates, but it showed a SERIOUS lack of understanding on the way customs works ;)
