Feces-throwing monkey on the loose in Tampa Bay

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Wildlife officials said a rhesus monkey known to
throw feces when mad is on the loose in Tampa Bay. Authorities have
been trying to capture the primate since Tuesday afternoon, but it
managed to evade a bucket truck and tranquilizer dart.

Gary Morse with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
says the adult male is thought to have escaped from an unlicensed
source. It was last seen in Clearwater.

The monkey is not considered dangerous.
