The escape of the Patas Monkeys from this zoo.
Does anybody have more information than whats on the website?

There most recent post says.

5/1/08 One female and her dependant offspring were safely secured today south of the preserve. They are in good health and are currently being held for observation.
 
As of mid-July all but 5 have been caught up and they are now living at the zoo, not Salisbury's private animal park: 10 Escaped Patas Monkeys Nabbed; 5 Still On The Lam

Also here is a link to a fine organization that advocates for animal welfare at the Lowry Park Zoo and has much more information about Safari Wild and its mischief monkeys.

Advocates Seeking Excellence at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo

Again here is a link to another thread about this, with more links in it.
