The monkey pet of an unidentified Columbia resident is loose on the town. Health officials aren’t sure what diseases he could carry, but so far he's bitten two kids, so maybe we'll find out soon!

Animal Control representatives say there aren’t any strong leads on the primate’s whereabouts. He probably won’t last long after the first freeze. But, what with global warming and 80-degree October days, the rhesus macaque might not need to worry about ice for a while. Either way, keep an eye out.

In other wild-animal news, a bull was running around St. Louis last weekend after a truck carrying 16 of the beefy guys crashed. Why go to Spain for a corriendo de los torros when the bank of the Mississippi is just as charming as the Mediterranean?
