LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- How many wildlife trappers does it take to catch 15 monkeys running loose in central Florida?
As of Friday, ten monkeys have been caught since their escape in April from the Safari Wild preserve. Another five remain on the loose in Polk County.
Wildlife officials say trappers know where the monkeys are, and the search will continue until the remaining monkeys are captured.
The bunch escaped their island home by swimming across a pond -- something they're not supposed to be able to do. Officials say the social but calm Patas monkeys are of no threat to people.
