Sheriff’s Office “Bananas” Over Escaped Monkey Dressed in a Tutu

January 7, 2025, 6:04 pm

A spider monkey dressed in a pink tutu, which had escaped from a Missouri home, was safely captured just before a winter storm hit the area. The monkey was spotted on Friday afternoon near the intersection of Highways 21 and M, close to Otto, a town south of St. Louis. It had escaped from a nearby residence after managing to open a door.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office humorously described the unusual capture as “bananas” in a Facebook post.

“Shortly before 4 PM on 1/3/25, deputies responded to the area of Highways 21 & M for reports of a subject monkeying around. When they arrived, first-responding units found the subject was naked except for what appeared to be a tutu. After careful negotiations and some coaxing, deputies were able to get close enough to go ‘hands-on’ with the subject and bring this bananas situation under control without incident,” the sheriff’s office shared.

“In all seriousness, this is a great example of law enforcement officers never knowing what they’ll face on any given call and having to be prepared to handle whatever the job throws at them. This spider monkey was staying at a nearby home when it managed to open a door and get outside. Deputies surrounded the animal and eventually got it back to its caretaker. Nice work by everyone involved.”

The incident occurred just in time, as a winter storm brought snow and ice to the area on Saturday, causing road closures and plummeting temperatures.

Monkey Goes Bananas: Steals Lunchbox At Supreme Court | Watch

October 6, 2024, 3:30 pm

The corridors of the Supreme Court recently experienced an unusual security breach when a monkey stole a lunchbox. Footage captured by bystanders shows advocates observing as one of at least two visiting monkeys rummaged through a tote bag, attempting to open the tiffin inside.

Viral Video

Senior Supreme Court Advocate Sanjay Hegde shared the video on X (formerly Twitter), which shows the monkey snatching the bag from a shelf outside a courtroom. After inspecting the contents, it made its way across an arched corridor to sit on a parapet. Many lawyers present on the Tilak Marg premises began recording the monkey’s antics as it tried to extract the lunchbox from the bag, eventually dropping it from the ledge.

The video illustrates the monkey’s struggle to open the box. Social media users shared humorous reactions to the incident, with one remarking, “Was it carrying any brief? Because some lawyers never pass on. They just replace their outer rendering.” Another commented, “Heartening to see the quality of visitors getting better for a change.” A third noted, “Be careful in disseminating this; one group shall come out saying Lord Ram sends his diplomat.” It remains unclear whether the monkey successfully obtained the meal or gave up in frustration.

This event follows a directive from the Delhi High Court urging the administration to address the “monkey menace” in the city. The court stated, “Civic agencies should carry out a year-long public awareness campaign to inform people how their feeding does not benefit the monkeys but only harms them by increasing their dependence on humans.”

In 2022, the Rhesus macaque, a common species in Delhi, was removed from Schedule II of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. This change means it no longer enjoys the same level of protection as many endangered species on the list, allowing authorities to manage monkeys similarly to stray cats and dogs.

Himachal Pradesh: Monkey Picks Up 4-Month-Old Baby, Drops Child Shortly After

July 20, 2024, 11:20 am

A four-month-old infant suffered minor injuries after being picked up by a monkey in the Una district of Himachal Pradesh on Thursday. The incident caused panic among the residents, prompting them to notify the local Forest and Wildlife Department. Reportedly, two cages have been set up to capture the monkey.

The infant, named Shubman, was released after receiving preliminary treatment at a local government hospital. His family reported that his condition is stable.

“As we learned about the incident, a team from the Forest and Wildlife Department rushed to the village of Charata. The family members said the child was lying on a charpoy when a monkey seized him. His mother, Jyoti, was inside a room. When she heard her son’s screams, she rushed to the veranda and raised an alarm. Local villagers gathered, and the monkey, unable to carry the child, abandoned him at a distance of 10 feet. We have conducted an initial fact-finding probe into the incident,” Sushil Rana, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Una, told The Indian Express.

The child’s aunt, Kamlesh Devi, however, disputed the official’s account, stating, “The monkey snatched the baby from Jyoti’s (his mother’s) lap. Unable to carry the baby, the monkey soon abandoned him. We informed the local forest department.”

The husband of the village sarpanch, Bhupinder Thakur, remarked, “The forest is far yet the monkeys stray into our village. We inform forest department personnel from time to time, and they make efforts to control the menace, but the problem still exists. Forest guards install cages, and the monkeys are captured. This is the first time a case of a monkey picking up a child has been reported in our area.”

A local forest officer mentioned, “There is a famous shrine called Bondale Mahadev near the village of Charata, where people feed monkeys and this attracts them to the village.”

Meanwhile, several cases of monkeys snatching purses and food items from people have been recently reported in Shimla district, where the monkey population is quite high.

The country has been experiencing an intense heatwave recently. The summer has been particularly harsh for those residing in the national capital region, with record-breaking temperatures. The sun’s relentless heat has affected not just humans but also animals and birds. In Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, the scorching temperatures have been distressing for all. Recently, a monkey fell from a tree due to the extreme heat. Fortunately, compassionate residents found the animal and quickly came to its aid.

In a now-viral video, several people can be seen trying to cool down the monkey with cold water. They also gave it some ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to help it regain strength and stay hydrated.

The residents worked together to give the monkey a refreshing bath and massaged it with cooling oil for relief. They ensured the monkey drank plenty of ORS to remain hydrated. Their prompt and active care saved the monkey’s life.

Many viewers have taken to the comment section to share their thoughts and commend the residents for their efforts.

“The condition of animals is very bad in summer, and very few people pay attention to it… it was good to see it.” Another user added, “Not just humans, even animals are suffering from the heat.” “It is extremely hot, take care of yourself and your loved one,” wrote another one.

“Planting lots of trees in your local areas seems like the only way to get some relief from the soaring temperature in the near future,” suggested a user, while another said, “We are humans and we can easily use fans, coolers and air conditioners. Meanwhile, these poor animals do not understand what to do. We should be alert and ready to help them these days.”

This incident of animals suffering from the heatwave is not isolated. A few days earlier, another monkey fell from a tree and fainted in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. It was later saved by Head Constable Vikas Tomar, who was on the scene.
