One of America's most elusive primates is safely behind bars today, after what officials can only speculate was one heck of a years-long adventure.
The "Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay" is a wild rhesus macaque who has
been driving animal control officers in Florida bananas for almost four years.
First spotted in January of 2009, the 25-pound male had been popping up
in backyards, alleyways, outside of restaurants, and in church parking lots all over the Tampa Bay area
"He came to worship," said a woman who'd witnessed the monkey on top
of a Baptist church during evening service to the Tampa Bay Times. Another
woman said she saw it swing off of a tree and into her swimming pool.
