Escaped Japanese Macaque Recaptured After Five-Day Search

Honshu, the monkey who escaped from Highland Wildlife Park, was found in a local resident's garden and has been safely returned to the park.

The escaped Japanese macaque, named Honshu, from the Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland has been recaptured after five days on the loose.
Honshu was found in a local resident's garden, eating from a bird feeder, and was tranquilized and returned to the park.
The monkey's escape was likely due to tensions during the macaque's breeding season, causing males to become more aggressive.
During the search, thermal imaging drones were used to track Honshu, and locals were advised to bring in outdoor food sources to encourage his return to the park.
Honshu will be examined by a vet before being reintroduced to the park's troop of macaques.
