Monkey loose, hide the toddlers



Monkey eludes net-wielding police at Tokyo station

Around 30 police officers and other officials cleared the area and surrounded the animal with green netting, but at noon it jumped off the information board and escaped through the crowd.
Curiously absent (or rusu in Japanese) is where the monkey (saru) came from. A military expedition (enseigun, from ensei, expedition, and gun, for a troop or force), no doubt? Macaques are native to Japan(nihon), but usually stick to terrifying people in the woods (mori).
