California Police Responded To A 911 Call. This Baby Monkey Was To Blame

But police in California were a little more lenient when they discovered that a 911 call they responded to had been placed by a malicious monkey. “They said it was much better to come to where they thought something was wrong and end with a smile on their face,” Lisa Jackson, assistant director of Zoo to You, said in an interview with guest host As It Happens. Susan Bonner. Jackson was just going about her normal business at the rescue complex in Paso Robles on Saturday and had no idea what had happened — until the police showed up at her door. It all started when Jackson took Ruth the capuchin monkey with her in a golf cart to do some chores around the course.

The guard wasn’t completely surprised

“She was just a passenger in my cart, and we’re traveling together, and she grabbed the phone,” Jackson said. It wasn’t completely out of character for the 10-month-old monkey. “She’s always curious so I didn’t think anything of it. I picked up the phone, put it back and then she and I went about our business.” Journey with her kangaroo friend at Zoo to You. (Lisa Jackson) It wasn’t until an hour later that the sheriff’s department showed up at the zoo. There was some confusion. Police insisted that a 911 call had come from the zoo — from the zoo’s phone. Since the call was dropped and there was no answer when they tried to call, they visited to make sure everything was okay. “And right then, I knew it was Route,” Jackson said. “I was like, ‘Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me. I can’t believe he did that.” However, Jackson wasn’t completely shocked. He says that monkeys, especially capuchins, are very intelligent and learn by observation. “I see she’s using her hands to sweep [the phone] and she will see that it changes the images and amuse her.’ And they have thumbs. Useful, it seems, when it comes to calling. But even Jackson said she was surprised the monkey managed to type 9-1-1 in a row.
“Let’s say I have a phone number on the phone. I could accidentally see her, you know, calling a friend or somebody.” Route’s keeper says capuchins are very intelligent and learn by watching others. However, he says he was surprised that the monkey got the number sequence right. (Lisa Jackson)

He came to the zoo as a rescue

Capuchin monkeys are native to South and Central America. Jackson says Ruth came to the Zoo to You rescue when she was a baby after her parents were illegally confiscated as pets. He says Route has learned to be mischievous and will run and hide if she knows she’s grabbed something important to her human. In fact, her scandalous streak extends beyond this prank call – she’s also been known to stir up the piles of leaves that Jackson pulls up when cleaning up the kangaroo area. “He comes and gets in them and acts like it’s snowing and throws them in the air like, ‘Whoa, look at me!’ It destroys my piles and I have to start all over again.” But Jackson says the monkey won’t be punished for calling the police. She, on the other hand, will change her behavior. “When this is all over, I’ll have to get a fanny pack with a really good zipper – because the Route can also decompress things.” Written by Stephanie Hogan.
