Two monkeys escaped from their enclosure at Marwell Zoo in Winchester, UK. Both of them made a bee-line for the zoo food shop!
Keepers at Marwell Zoo barricaded visitors inside buildings while they captured the Macaques monkeys. Macaques monkeys can be aggressive and dangerous if they feel threatened. Zoo keepers trapped the monkeys in the food shop and were later retrieved and returned to their enclosure. No one was hurt and an investigation by the zoo is under way.
