Missing monkey on the run in Kent

A monkey that is on the loose after escaping his enclosure at an animal park will be "scared to be out" says one expert.

Dr Alison Cronin, who is a monkey expert, told 5 live that Tamil, who is a lion tailed macaque "might prove a little difficult to track down" as there is "a lot of open countryside in Kent".

Tamil escaped from Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent on Tuesday night and has not been seen since. His keepers have set humane traps in the hope that he can be returned safely to his family group.
