A missing monkey which escaped from a Scottish wildlife park five days ago was caught after being found eating from a birdfeeder, the zoo has confirmed to ITV News.
Honshu, a Japanese Macaque, was captured safely with a tranquiliser dart, is recovering well and is currently being monitored.
On Thursday morning, a team from the park continued their extensive search operations, using drones to try to locate the monkey in the Scottish Highlands.
Highland Wildlife Park boss Keith Gilchrist said: "After a call to our hotline just after 10am our keepers and drone team made their way to a member of the public’s garden where the monkey was eating from a birdfeeder and successfully used a tranquiliser dart to catch him.
