Summary:
Wildlife officers were investigating reports that a large, hairy primate (possibly an orangutan) was running loose in the woods. One officer spied the primate about 100 feet up a tree but declined to shoot a tranquilizer dart at it because the primate could suffer severe or fatal injuries from the fall.
