The two emperor tamarin monkeys apparently swiped from the beleaguered Dallas Zoo were found unharmed at an abandoned home in Lancaster, Texas, on Tuesday.
“We are thrilled beyond belief to share that our two emperor tamarin monkeys have been found,” the zoo confirmed in a statement. “DPD located the animals early this evening, and called our team to come secure and transport the tamarins back to the Zoo. They will be evaluated by our veterinarians this evening.”
The monkeys went missing on Monday morning, and zoo officials said then that their enclosure had been “intentionally compromised.”
