Capuchin monkey escapes Zurich zoo

No need to be alarmed, but an animal escaped from Zurich’s zoo and has been holed up in the woods. Fortunately the animal is just a small capuchin, and should not disrupt life around city too much. Officials say they have no idea how this happened earlier this week, only that someone saw a monkey outside of the zoo. WRS’s Tony Ganzer spoke to senior zoo curator Robert Zingg to find out what else officials know:
