COVINGTON, La. (AP) -- Authorities in Louisiana are going bananas over some escaped monkeys. As of yesterday, eleven monkeys were still on the lose near the Tulane Primate Center, while more than 40 others have been captured. Officials say the primates are responsible for their own monkey business. The monkeys had apparently watched how their keepers opened and closed the cages and later made their getaway. The monkeys were being used solely for breeding purposes and not for experiments of any kind. A spokesman for the primate center says the escaped monkeys are not dangerous. The animals are believed to be hiding out in some nearby woods.
