Missing Monkey Now Tweeting

The rhesus monkey who went missing from Lawrenceville is supposedly tweeting her adventures.

They say if you sit 100 monkeys down at 100 typewriters, one of them will eventually write Shakespeare. Apparently, if you give one rhesus monkey a smartphone, she will start tweeting.

Someone has started a Twitter account pretending to be the 10 days ago from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Lawrenceville. 

Lawrenceville Patch asked the missing monkey this via Twitter: "@EmoryMacaqueEsc When you decide to turn yourself in, will you give@LawvillePatch the exclusive? Thanks."
