In other monkey news


Mojo the chimp, born March 8, will be on view for the first time by yesterday or possibly next Wednesday, in Jackson, Mississippi. If you're by there, stop in.

Monkeys in the News

The Oregon Health & Science University captured the last of nine monkeys that escaped from Hillsboro Primate Research Center.

A brown lemur that escaped from the Ramat Gan Safari in Tel Aviv was also recaptured Sunday.

The Daveiss County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of a loose chimp running angry down the highway outside Winston, Missouri. The chimp opened the patrol car door and grabbed the leg of a deputy, who shot it dead.

In the process, they found a puppy mill with 100 to 200 dogs at the chimp owners' home. When they came back, there were only 13 live dogs, nine dead dogs, and three other primates. They jailed everybody in sight.
