Monkey Update: 4 Weeks On The Run

Tokyo’s favorite macaque monkey has eluded police for one month. The monkey first appeared August 20, 2008, during morning rush hour at Tokyo’s Shibuya train station. The monkey escaped capture and dashed out of the station. Since then, it has been spotted several times. On September 5, police said the monkey is likely surviving on rainwater, leaves and berries on trees.

Lets Japan obtained this exclusive photo. Moments after this picture was taken, the monkey climbed the pole in the foreground, and urinated on the passers-by.
