There is a monkey on the loose in the Cowichan Valley.
Conservation officers are searching for the tiny primate that escaped a facility in the Lake Cowichan area on the weekend.
The monkey escaped an enclosure at Primate Estates on Saturday, and is described as fairly small and brown-black in colour, was last seen heading off into the forest, sparking concern for its well-being.
The public is asked to approach the monkey with caution. He bites.
If you see the monkey, you are asked to call BC Conservation at 1-877-952-7277
