In a very unusual twist of events a privately-owned Japanese snow monkey escaped her owner in early December after her mate died. The monkey traveled more than 15 miles over a six-week period; unfortunately for her the journey came to end when she decided to breach the security gates at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
