Zoo scrambles to find missing monkey

JERUSALEM -- Israel's largest zoo is scrambling to find a monkey that swung out of a tree and escaped from the wildlife park near Tel Aviv. The "Safari," in the adjacent city of Ramat Gan, is asking the public to help find Kuner, a 17-year-old wedge-capped capuchin monkey that fled Monday -- likely after a fight with rival males in his enclosure. Spokeswoman Sagit Horowitz said the 6.6-pound Kuner is about the size of a cat and poses no danger.
