The male baboon was en route to a vasectomy procedure with two females in tow to keep him calm, authorities said.
Three baboons briefly escaped from a truck en route to a hospital in Sydney on Tuesday and roamed the streets, prompting a police response, huge reaction on social media and a subsequent investigation.
Authorities were transporting the male baboon and its two female companions to an animal research facility at a major hospital, the Royal Prince Alfred in Sydney’s inner west, so the male baboon could undergo a vasectomy, New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard said, per theHazzard confirmed the animals had been brought in from a colony in Wallacia in western Sydney, believed to be the NSW National Health and Medical Research Council colony, for treatment at the hospital.
He believed a failed lock on the truck or transport crate had resulted in the escape just as the animals arrived for the procedure.
