Two emperor tamarin monkeys that suspiciously disappeared earlier this week from the Dallas Zoo after their habitat was intentionally compromised have been found and returned to the zoo, police said.
The monkeys were discovered in an abandoned home in the city of Lancaster, a suburb just south of Dallas, the Dallas Police Department tweeted late on Tuesday, along with a photograph of one of the animals perched in a closet.
The tamarin monkey disappearance was the latest in a string of suspicious activity at the zoo over the last two weeks, that included the cutting open of enclosures for langurs monkeys and a clouded leopard, and the suspicious death of a 35-year-old vulture. The clouded leopard escaped, causing the zoo to close, but it was later found.
It is not known if any of the incidents was linked to the escape of the tamarin monkeys, which were brought back to the zoo where they were to be examined by veterinarians.
