A monkey who escaped from a wildlife park in the Scottish Highlands has been spotted about 300 metres from the park’s entrance, raising hopes he will return to his enclosure of his own volition after a third night of freedom.
The drone footage was taken just as the light was fading on Tuesday evening by a conservation consultant, Ben Harrower, who is assisting a search team from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs the park. It shows the Japanese macaque moving on the ground under dense tree cover.
