Monkey Escapes From Its Cage At Sedgwick County Zoo
March 18 - A monkey escapes from its cage, causing some monkey business at the Sedgwick County Zoo.
The colobus monkey named Alley found a small hole in the roof of the netting surrounding her outdoor area Friday. Alley weighs about 15 pounds.
The animal was quickly spotted by zoo staff, which responded by keeping the monkey calm and clearing visitors from the area.
Zoo officials say Alley stayed within 15 feet of the exhibit and was secured by staff within two hours. No one was in danger from the animal.
Colobus monkeys have slender black bodies with a long white tufted tail.
