Multiple pet monkeys, including infamous pet once banned from island, seized in Galveston

Galveston’s animal control department found multiple monkeys on the island in July. One...

One of the seized animals was something of an island celebrity. Lilly, a 4-year-old capuchin monkey, made headlines on a Monday night in January 2020 after she was let loose on the island after someone broke into her owner’s home in Galveston’s East End neighborhood. The small monkey was reported seen running free on Broadway, a busy six-lane road. Residents were warned to drive carefully and keep eye out for the wayward primate.

Lilly’s great escape was made more bizarre after her owners told TV reporters that she had been hit by a car and killed, and then buried in their backyard; only for the Galveston Police Department to reveal the animal was alive and that her owners had apparently concocted the story to avoid more police and media scrutiny.

Somewhere between three and four million years ago, mankind’s most distant ancestors stopped swinging in trees and started walking on the ground.

And now that same process is happening again.

Monkey and lemur species that have lived in trees for countless millennia are beginning to spend increasing amounts of time on the forest floor in response to deforestation and climate change.

A study based on more than 150,000 hours of observations of 47 tree-dwelling primate species living across almost 70 sites in Madagascar and the Americas has shown the change in habitat is a global trend.

Monkeys 'abandoning trees for land' just like humans did millions of years ago

Climate change and deforestation are driving a new wave of primates into taking the same evolutionary leap that led our distant ancestors on the path to humanity

I don't know how difficult it is to pick coconuts, but it seems like it'd be a lot more work to kidnap and train a bunch of monkeys to do it.
 
Either theft or they've developed tools at the dallas zoo:

The Dallas Police Department is investigating another missing animals case at the Dallas Zoo after two tamarin monkeys were reported missing from the zoo on Monday.

A spokesperson for the Dallas PD tells PEOPLE that a preliminary investigation into their disappearance determined that "an intentional cut" was made into a tamarin monkey enclosure at the zoo.

While the investigation remains ongoing, officials believe that the animals were intentionally taken from the enclosure.

First of all, if the monkeys want to go through your bag, let them. Chances are pretty good that you're going to get bit and catch a weird disease - worse, they're going to kill your child.

Second, at the end of the video you can hear the Aussie family complaining that a bunch of people were standing around and not doing a damn thing to help. While that's true, they probably recognized that this bloke (to use an Aussie term) was being an idiot and wanted to record him getting his just desserts. I hope that if the monkeys truly got the upper hand, or got a hold of one of his kids, some of them would have intervened. Pretty sure the people outnumbered the monkeys at least 2-1, maybe 3-1.
