Well,looks like they finally took down the outlaw monkey of Tampa after a 2 year run on the streets,At least they did capture him,I didn't think it would end well after he bit that woman.

The mystery monkey of Tampa Bay, who became a local celebrity, has been captured after spending two years on the lam.

Officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission waited four hours for the wild rhesus macaque to appear in an area where it had been seen in recent days and tranquilized him with a dart, said Baryl Martin, a Fish and Wildlife official who has been on the monkey's trail.

Martin said the monkey appeared to be "doing all right" and was being evaluated by a veterinarian.

No, that was a chimp in the northeast that really did rip a woman's face off and almost killed her.

The monkey has his own Facebook page and is well known around Tampa it seems.I hope he gets a good home after all this is over.

He had a good buzz going in that cage! I was so sure he would show up at my friends place in Clearwater. She has quite the menagerie.

Glad he is ok, and glad they are gonna find him a home.

I remember that, Hilliam, that was horrendous. What person in their right mind would think they could own as a pet, and do right by, a wild animal, especially an intact male? That's insanity!
