Officials at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute say the fourth baboon who escaped from their facility Saturday has been captured. All four baboons have been checked by veterinary staff and are well, a news release reports. No details were given on where the baboon was caught... Officials did not say how the animals escaped, only that the four were able to get past perimeter fencing at the institute. Witnesses quickly took to to social media to report baboons on the loose after catching sight of the runaways near Northwest Loop 410 and West Military Drive. Jannell Bouton, 26, snapped photos with her phone while traveling in the area. She witnessed the capture team corner one of the animals in a tree.

Does 4 baboons qualify as a Congress? Or do you need the full compliment?

I believe it’s Snow Moneys that escaped many years ago from a facility in south Texas, now their populations are increasing rapidly.

And some of them can’t even leave your mind and go on the electronic page of FR.

I went to the animal fair
The birds and the bees were there
An old baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair
The monkey he got drunk and fell on the elephants trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees and that was the end of the monk!

For some reason halfway through the article this tune popped into my mind and won’t go away.
Inflicting it on others will hopefully let me nap in peace.

It is a scenario out of a apocalyptic event reminiscent of Planet of the Apes.

Rhesus monkeys in Florida. By the thousand.

Although Burmese pythons are taking their toll.

They should be okay as long as they don’t try to use the bathroom at a Starbucks.

The area around Silver Springs, Fla, is overrun with escaped monkeys. The state is trying to something about it because they are causing a local herpes epidemic.
