Authorities in Georgia are warning members of the public to be on the lookout for two Patas monkeys on the loose in a county near Savannah. The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post Sunday (May 22nd), “It sounded like a scene from Jumanji but it was not. There are in fact, two Patas monkeys on the loose in North Effingham.” The monkeys are legally owned by an Effingham resident, and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources was contacted to help capture the loose primates. The sheriff’s office cautioned against residents trying to capture the monkeys, noting their behavior is unpredictable.
