A troupe of African monkeys are on the loose after escaping from a remote wildlife facility north of Tampa.
Officials at Safari Wild say it may take more than a week to round up all the patas monkeys that ran away on Saturday.
The monkeys live on a one-acre island that is surrounded by an eight-foot-deep moat. Officials say one female monkey with a baby on her back swam across the moat Saturday, and the other monkeys followed.
Officials say the reddish-brown monkeys are not dangerous and are used to being fed by humans, which may make them easier to catch.
