About one mont ago about 100 Japanese macaques escaped after a typhoon destroyed their eclosure : Native macaques escape after typhoon wrecked Chiba zoo:The Asahi Shimbun
I've split the posts to a separate thread. Rather more interesting in the article than just "some macaques escaped from the zoo" is that foreign Rhesus Macaques are established in this part of Japan and there are fears that the native Japanese Macaques (the ones which escaped from the zoo) will interbreed and create a hybrid population.
