    Hunt launched for runaway monkey
    30/05/2005 - 10:06:12

    A moody monkey is being hunted by zoo staff today after he made a run for it after a family fall-out.

    The 3ft tall, black-furred and white tailed Spider Monkey broke free from his compound at Belfast Zoo yesterday.

    He was last spotted by a woman in her back garden and today as police and zoo staff launched a major search operation, zoo manager Mark Challis said: “We believe he’s a young male in the group who’s had a set-to with his dad, who’s also in the group, and has climbed out of the enclosure late yesterday morning.

    “He’s out of his normal environment. He’s likely to want to hide. They are a relatively shy, nervous species.”

    Staff at the zoo, which keeps one of the largest groups of monkeys held in captivity, urged anyone who spots the runaway, not to approach it.

    “They come from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, so they are quite a tough species of monkey.

    The cool air nights shouldn’t bother them too much,” Mr Challis added.

    “We have a very capable and trained escape team in the zoo. We wouldn’t want people to approach him too cosely, but if they can keep an eye on him and see what he’s up to that would be ideal.”

    why don't they just make a huge pile of bananas in the middle of the zoo again and then when he comes to eat them drop a piano on him. problem sorted cause then the tiger would come back and eat the monkey remains and then do the same to him and then you could use the squashed tiger to feed the sharks or the crocs, then everyone is happy!

    What about the sharks/crocs. Dropping a piano on them wouldn't work, because pianos are wood and they might just float. What would really work is if you poisoned the tigert flesh

    but then when you fed the tiger to the croc it'd get all sick and die. just throw the tiger into the croc pit after you crush it

    Was the point not that you wanted to kill them all?

    This sounds likes The Running Man. Maybe we can get Danny Devito to play the monkey?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    It's just like OJ Simpson on the run all over again...

    I sure hope the monkey makes it back to Kilimanjaro before they catch him...

    as long as he dosen't jump into an SUV and drive at minus 40mph down a highway with a dozen garda cars he should make it!

    If I know anything, and I do, that monkey is the host of several diseases and we'll all be dead pretty soon (I know that because I read it in a book)
    It is my informed opinion that the *only* thing to do in this situation is loot.
