Escaped Monkey Must Not Like Life On Outside; Returns To Zoo
POSTED: 10:59 am EDT June 20, 2005
SAN DIEGO -- Freedom isn't all that great. At least to one escaped monkey.
Takala, a golden-bellied mangabey, got out of the new monkey exhibit at the San Diego Zoo Friday. But he was found less than an hour later, waiting to get back inside.
Zookeepers said they were searching for Takala, when they opened an outside door to the monkey exhibit and he walked right in. Officials had moved visitors away from the area while searching for the monkey.
Officials said Takala escaped through a hole in the netting around the enclosure. But they're not sure if Takala actually made the hole or just found it.
The $28 million Monkey Trails and Forest Tales exhibit opened this month and has been promoted by the zoo as a more natural and visitor-friendly setting than its original monkey habitat.

A normal state for you, however I will give you a clue...
Did the monkey recieve any form of physical punishment?

So, the zoo environment can't be too bad if he went back...it's obvious they're not so far removed from humans after all.
I mean, we all go back to the cubicle zoo day after day--even after we find the hole to escape every afternoon.....

I must've not gotten the escape-hole memo.

Didn't get a memo about getting a desk, either.

most likely not, but neither did the Prodigal Son, just a bunch of his Father's friends thought he should.
