Monkey Uses Garden Hose to Scale Moat and Flee Zoo

 

Where there is a will there is a monkey way. A spider monkey new to the Monkey_bloggingcity’s Washington Park Zoo used a garden hose to scale the walls of a moat and made a break for freedom. One never knows what a monkey will do next and they are capable of anything.

Workers were cleaning the moat at the time Wednesday. Zoo Director Johnny Martinez says workers had figured the monkeys would remain inside their enclosure during the cleaning even though the moat was empty of water.

However, one monkey made it past the moat, grabbed the hose and jumped onto the roof of a water filtration plant.

The zoo staff recaptured the adventurous monkey at a nearby boat dealership, where they found it perched atop a white and blue speedboat.

Martinez says the freedom-seeking monkey is sociable and was not any danger to people.
