Monkey Crime

Two lemurs have been the Salzburg's Hellbrunn Zoo in Austria after a week-long crime spree.

They escaped when their keeper walked in to feed them. Slipped out like greased monkeys. They turned the town upside down with their celebratory run. The duo attacked the local's washing lines, turned over garden furniture, stole fruit, harassing domestic pets, before finally winding up in a hotel bar.

The hotel manager, Andreas Hasenohrl said, "I couldn't believe it when I came in for work in the morning. It looked like they were looking for something to drink! They were playing with bottles, but I gave them a banana instead and quickly shut all the doors and windows."

Keepers were then able to capture the law-breakers and have since aptly renamed them. Their new names are King Julien and Maurice, after Madagascar. :)

  • LOL!! That is so funny. I think that if i saw monkeys running wild i would get to saftey as soon as possible because i've been scared of them ever since that lady got her face torn off.
  • haha thats funny. Lemurs are pretty smart. Maybe they didn't like what the zoo was feeding them so they wanted to go to the bar to get a drink or something good to eat.
  • What were their names in the first place? Before the crime spree?
  • I want those monkeys.
  • Haha!! thats funny!! i love monkeys!! i bet they were looking for an alcholic drink!!!
  • Hahaha that's funny. Crazy monkeys, they made me laugh
  • i would definitely drive a getaway car for those two. monkeys causing a riot would be super funny. i can't see how anyone can be mad at them
  • where do those lemurs get off? we've earned our right to be here. and they truck in thinkin they own the place? makes me sick
  • That's really cool. I remember one time when I was watching some show. There was a store that had electric automatic opening doors. It showed several people walking in and out. Standing outside the door was a pigeon, when the moment was right the bird darted in. After grabbing a bag of chips off the bottom shelf, it left the store to open and eat the chips outside. Hey, who can deny free food. :)
