Stolen Monkey Banana-Sam Returned To San Francisco Zoo

By | January 2, 2012

Workers at the San Francsico Zoo were surprised on Friday morning when they discovered breaches in a perimeter fence and in the meshing around the squirrel monkey habitat.  They were worried when they discovered that Banana-Sam, a much-beloved monkey, was missing.  A day later, on Saturday evening, a man walking through a park noticed movement in the bushes, and recognized it was the missing monkey.  For some reason we can’t fathom, he coaxed the monkey into his backpack and called the authorities. Banana-Sam was soon returned to the zoo, where he is recovering from his ordeal.
