Two emperor tamarin monkeys at the Dallas Zoo went missing Monday and officials say they found evidence that their habitat was "intentionally compromised."
The zoo notified Dallas police, who were already involved due to a string of unusual incidents at the zoo, according to the zoo.
The zoo said emperor tamarin monkeys would likely stay close to home if the got out, but workers searched the zoo grounds and did not find them. Officials said police told them they have reason to believe the monkeys were taken.
The missing monkeys mark the fourth suspicious incident at the zoo this month. First, a clouded leopard escaped from its habitat after the enclosure was intentionally cut on Jan. 13. Authorities then found a similar cut at the habitat housing langur monkeys.
Finally, a 35-year-old lappet-faced vulture was found dead with an "unusual wound" on Jan. 23, the zoo said.
