Remember the Tampa Bay Monkey,
running wild in Florida entrancing the nation awhile back? Well Japan
has gotten there own version-The Shibuya Monkey! It's running wild in a
busy section of Tokyo terrorizing subway riders and entrancing a nation!
According to LetsJapan;A monkey that has been romping around parts of Tokyo since Aug. 6 could be the monkey that ran through Tokyo's Shibuya station on Aug. 20, 2008. On the morning of August 20, 2008,
a macaque monkey scampered into Shibuya train station in Tokyo.
Police armed with several meters of green netting and carrying hooped
nets surrounded the macaque while it rested on an overhead timetable
display. The monkey eluded capture and darted among commuters before
escaping into the city. News video of the 2008 Shibuya monkey-chase
was broadcast on TV worldwide and posted on TV and newspaper websites.
The first summer of 2010 monkey sightings occurred about 5:50 PM Aug.
4. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department says the monkey was discovered on the roof of a home next to a rice paddy in Nerima Ward.
The same day, the monkey was seen in the same area jumping along
electric power lines, scaling the walls of homes, eating some grapes in
the garden of a house, and loitering in front of an elementary school.
The ape brushed a taxi that was driving down a road in Ikebukuro the
morning of the Aug. 5. There were no injuries.Also on Aug. 5, the
macaque was seen in the vicinity of Ikebukuro station in the morning, and it was watched scampering on a road in Shinmachi, Itabashi Ward in the afternoon. There is speculation this Japanese macaque is a wild macaque that lived in Chichibu and might have followed a river into the urban area.On July 23, the Shibuya monkey posted a message
on twitter: "so sweetly! atsui! matted fur dripping pocari sweat 8:]
