(3,706 posts)Our local zoo in New Orleans is one of the most compact in the world because of the way real estate is in this city, but it's also impossible to imagine the whole place being covered by video surveillance. It would require hundreds of cameras, as well as the data links and recording devices for all of them.

(115,282 posts)DALLAS (AP) Two monkeys taken from the Dallas Zoo were found Tuesday in a nearby abandoned home after a mysterious disappearance the day before, police said. No arrests have been made.
Dallas police said that they found the two emperor tamarin monkeys after getting a tip. Police said they then went to the empty home in Lancaster, located just south of Dallas, and found the monkeys safe in a closet.
The monkeys have been returned to the zoo.
The monkeys were found missing and their enclosure was cut on Monday. It was the latest in a string of odd events at the zoo, including other cut fences, the escape of a small leopard and the suspicious death of an endangered vulture.
