Monkey takeover continues

JUAREZ -- On the night of Jan. 5, the workers at a small zoo east of Juárez put the animals to bed. They led the four Hamadryas baboons to their heated cabin and closed the door. When they reopened it the next morning, there were five monkeys.

"One of the females was holding a little baby monkey in her arms, like you would hold a child," said Porfirio Silva, owner of Parque Recreativo San Jorge. "We had noticed her big belly, but we didn't know when she would give birth."
