Chester Zoo Naughty Monkey!

[Nisha]

Popoyan the Spider Monkey escaped from Monkey Islands earlier today. He was safely re-captured using a net. It's thought that one of the tree's had a sudden growth spurt leaving a slightly overhanging branch and way out of the exibit!

Glad it all ended well. I was in the zoo in 1987 or 88 when a female Hamadryas Baboon escaped and ran up a tree by the bridge. People were allowed to watch while she was caught, now I expect everyone would have to leave the zoo. I took pohotgraphs but for only the second time in 40 years I had a faulty film and the entire roll was blank.

Glad it had a happy ending also interesting to note that the zoo made NO attempt to cover it,just like they didn`t when the Chimps got out inside the food prep area of the Chimp house!!
