Hose Monkey Escapes Chicagoland Zoo
A monkey escaped from the Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City, Indiana by using a garden hose to climb the walls of the moat surrounding its enclosure. The mischievous monkey quickly made it to a nearby boat dealership and jumped on a speedboat. Sadly, he was apprehended by zoo workers before making it to the water.
Zoo Director Johnny Martinez assured residents of the surrounding Chicago suburbs that there was no need to worry:
The freedom-seeking monkey is sociable and was not any danger to people.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg need to get in touch with that zoo fast. That monkey is bound to escape eventually, and the Hollywood folks could give it an outlet for its talents as an extra in the Indiana Jones franchise.
