An escaped monkey, originally identified as a baboon, was running around the airport in San Antonio today. This particular monkey, a rhesus macaque named Dawkins, was on his way from Brown University to the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in South Texas. Based on a tweet from the sanctuary, Dawkins should be back en route to his new home soon.
In my book,
Waylon County:Texas Stories, a primate that enters the Wailin' Biscuit Cafe is also misidentified, and the characters discuss the difference between a monkey and a baboon. You have to love it when life and fiction decide to dance together.
Here is a link to get a copy of
Waylon County: Texas Stories in case you don't have one yet.
