MONKEY BELLA ESCAPES ZOO ENCLOSURE TO LOOK FOR HER BELOVED BOYFRIEND MALINO - Not even an electric fence could keep this besotted macaque away from her love - She managed to short the power and get through.

Bella and Malino 

Bella, a female Sulawesi crested black macaque, was upset Malino had been moved to a separate enclosure at Durrell Wildlife Park in Jersey, UK, the Western Daily Press reported.  This prompted her to hatch a scheme to escape with some of her fellow monkeys.

 

After managing to get away on several occasions officials at the zoo set up an electric fence, but this proved to be no match for the wily macaque.  Bella was able to break through the barrier using a wet blade of grass to short the power.

 

A second electric fence was also erected but the monkey used the same method to get past it.  ‘These monkeys are extremely intelligent and Bella had learned this either by trial and error or by watching another monkey do it,’ said the Wildlife Park’s spokesman Rick Jones.

Heartbroken Bella

 

Sadly Bella was not reunited with Malino but staff hoped she would turn her attention to a new dominant male, Kato, when he was brought in.
