ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — Pasco County deputies are searching for a lost domesticated Capuchin monkey that disappeared in the area of Handcart Road in Zephyrhills.
The monkey's owner said its name is Donnatto.
The owner said they've had him for two years and he has never gotten out before.
If anyone spots him, deputies say not to approach him because he may become aggressive if frightened. Instead, authorities say to notify the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 813-558-5050 ext. 7.
Donnatto has been seen by the owner's parents and neighbors but nobody has been able to catch him.
