The two small monkeys who were found in a vacant house a day after being taken from the Dallas Zoo lost a bit of weight during their ordeal but show no signs of injury, the zoo said.
The disappearance Monday of the two emperor tamarin monkeys - named Bella and Finn - and the discovery that their enclosure had been cut were the latest in a string of unusual events at the zoo over the last few weeks, which has included other cut fences, the escape of a small leopard and the suspicious death of an endangered vulture.
Dallas police said they found the monkeys - who have long whiskers that look like a moustache - on Tuesday afternoon in the closet of a home south of the zoo after getting a tip from the public. No arrests have been made.
