Escaped Baboon Flees Cops At Full Speed: MyFoxPHILLY.com

OMG! Everyone, stop what you’re doing!

Gawd, crime must be running a little slow in NJ this week cause there’s a mad police hunt for a baboon. LOL.

Authorities continued their search Friday for an olive baboon that is believed to have escaped the Wild Safari attraction at the Six Flags Great Adventure park in southern New Jersey.

The animal was spotted twice Friday morning in the area around the park in Jackson, N.J., after its escape earlier in the week, according to the Asbury Park Press.

Online, the baboon already has two fake Twitter accounts — @JerseyBaboon and @BaboonOnTheRun — and a big online following, in the same vein as the early 2011 escape @BronxZoocobra.
