Star- Monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis and AI is complicating efforts to capture them
People have reported capturing the monkeys, even posting fake pictures online to bolster the claim. But as of Monday, the monkeys remained at large, Springer said.
When I first saw this post, I thought it was about Minneapolis.
Sorry, the only image I could find was of now Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown squeezing his monkey!

Sounds like a lot of monkeying around going on.
I hate monkeys with a passion. In Costa Rica the Holler monkeys are fine. They’re scared of their own shadows. BUT, the White Faced monkeys in CR are an absolute menace. Worse than seagulls because they’re arguably smarter. The little kleptomaniacs will open zippers on your bags, wander into open hotel room doors, and generally steal anything that isn’t nailed down.
My first time in that country we ran into a couple at the airport who were being scrutinized beyond the normal TSA nonsense. It was because all their bags were loaded up with mouse traps. They had them to deal with the monkeys when they arrived in Costa Rica.
They’ll also jump on your shoulder from a tree branch or even your head and rip away from your hand whatever you’re snacking on.
I’ve been to Costa Rica too. It was one of my two favorite 4X4 vacations.
Neighbor had a monkey he got from some biology lab in college in the 70’s. Like the monkey from “outbreak”.
Kept in a big old Victorian bird cage in his garage. The monkey’s favorite pastimes were jerking off, flinging poo, and biting people dumb enough to get close.
Ditto for me – A friend from highschool owned one and had him free ranging in the house.
Vicious little bastard.
I didn’t know they could be Muslims! 😉

It does what it will. Who is gonna stop it?
Update – All monkeys have been captured and put on the last train to Clarksville.
Here they come! Walking down the street! They get the funniest looks from everyone they meet…
Is it time for a musical interlude?
