Summary:

Dizzy, a 12 lb guenon monkey, twisted a door knob and let himself out of his enclosure. At the time, a zoo employee had been cleaning out the enclosure, and exited in order to answer a question from a visitor. Dizzy got into the trees above the zoo enclosure and cleared the fence around the zoo, and got into the trees throughout Forest Park. He was recaptured two days later.
