Officials were left red faced yet again after Oliver the white-faced capuchin monkey made his second escape from a Mississippi zoo in less than a month.On Wednesday, Oliver, who apparently has learned to pick locks, was back at the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo.
Only this time his cage has been secured with triple chains and locks.
"There's one on top, one on the bottom and one in the middle," park manager Kirk Nemecheck said. "If he gets out again, someone is letting him out."
Oliver's cage was standing open Monday morning and the lock was lying on the ground. Oliver and another capuchin named Baby were still in the area, and workers easily recaptured Baby, but Oliver took off, Nemecheck said.
Nemecheck is getting fed up.
"I'm getting titanium locks next time," he said. "I'm tired of chasing a monkey."
