Are we really that far removed from the family tree?

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, in a brilliant piece of detective work, believe a little Capuchin monkey called 911 from a zoo last Saturday night.

The call disconnected and dispatchers tried to call and text back but there was no response, so deputies were sent to investigate. The address turned out to be the Zoo to You near Paso Robles, but the deputies found that no one there made the call.

They finally deduced that a Capuchin monkey named Route had apparently picked up the zoo’s cellphone, which was in a golf cart used to move about the property.

The Sheriff's Office stated. “We’re told Capuchin monkeys are very inquisitive and will grab anything and everything and just start pushing buttons.”

Well, don't leave your laptop out...those monkeys might start buying Bitcoin!
