Twelve squirrel monkeys were stolen from a Louisiana zoo in the latest string of bizarre incidents involving zoo animals.
On Monday, Zoosiana, a zoo in Broussard, Louisiana, confirmed that the Squirrel Monkey exhibit was broken into shortly before midnight on Jan. 28, and that 12 squirrel monkeys were stolen.
"The individual targeted facilities of smaller primates and specifically compromised the Squirrel Monkey exhibit," the zoo said in a statement. "The individual was unfortunately successful in stealing 12 squirrel monkeys."
