Japanese macaque spotted 300 metres from wildlife park’s entrance after third night of freedom
A monkey who escaped from a wildlife park in the Highlands has been spotted about 300 metres from the park’s entrance, raising hopes he will return to his enclosure of his own volition after a third night of freedom.
The drone footage was taken just as the light was fading on Tuesday evening by conservation consultant Ben Harrower, who is assisting a search team from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs the park. It shows the Japanese macaque strolling along on the ground, under dense tree cover.
