An overly “exuberant” monkey has found itself in a prickly situation after swinging out of its enclosure at Perth Zoo.
A spokesperson said a Javan gibbon was having too much fun while swinging in its enclosure and found himself “in a tree outside of his habitat” on Tuesday afternoon.
“The zoo’s expert primate and veterinary teams acted quickly and have safely sedated him, and he has now been moved to an area behind-the-scenes for monitoring,” the spokesperson said.
The zoo said that at no point were any visitors in danger.

“Our animal carers are now closely monitoring him and the rest of the Javan gibbons, and they appear settled and well,” the spokesperson said.
