(Wilton Manors, Fla) - A wild vervet monkey named "Ninja Joe" is on the loose in Broward County and authorities believe it is looking for love. It was spotted yesterday in Wilton Manors.
One official said that the monkey is "looking for mating opportunities and seems to be well versed in our urban landscape."
The Vervet Monkey Sanctuary Project is asking residents who see the monkey to not approach it, instead contact them at 954-376-0370, so they can safely bring the monkey to the sanctuary. The other hope is that the 5-year-old male monkey will figure out that there are no other dating opportunities in Broward County and will return home to the sanctuary.
