**BREAKING: MISCHIEVOUS MONKEY ON THE LOOSE!**
In a daring escape that has left zoo officials bananas, a sassy 5-year-old female capuchin monkey named “Mango” broke free from her enclosure at Zootastic Park in North Carolina and was spotted walking across utility lines in Iredell County like she owned the place!
Eyewitnesses described the scene as ” absolute chaos” as Mango, donning a sparkly tutu and a mischievous grin, strolled across the high-voltage lines like a furry, primate tightrope walker.
“I was just driving to get a coffee when I saw this tiny, adorable monkey just casually strolling across the power lines,” said local resident, Jane Doe. “I mean, I’ve seen some crazy things in my life, but a monkey in a tutu? That’s a new one!”
The monkey’s great escape was caught on camera by a quick-thinking bystander, who managed to snap a photo of Mango mid-strut. The image, which has since gone viral on social media, shows the fearless primate posing proudly on the power lines, her tail swishing back and forth like a metronome.
“I was like, ‘Is that a monkey? Is she wearing a tutu? Is she trying to steal the show?'” said Zootastic Park spokesperson, John Smith. “We are still trying to figure out how she managed to escape, but we’re just glad she’s safe and sound…and still rocking that tutu.”
Mango was safely recaptured and returned to her enclosure, where she is currently enjoying a special “escape artist” treat – a basket full of juicy bananas and a side of monkey-sized therapy.
The incident has left zoo officials scrambling to review their security protocols and monkey-proof their enclosures. “We’re taking steps to ensure that our primate friends are safe and secure, but also to prevent any future fashion emergencies,” said Smith.
In the meantime, Mango has become an unlikely social media sensation, with fans and followers clamoring for more updates on the adventurous capuchin. Who knows? Maybe she’ll start her own primate Instagram account and become the next big thing in monkey influencers!
