Japan-70 monkeys escape Japanese zoo after man cuts hole cut in fence

Around 70 monkeys have escaped from a zoo park in Japan, local media reports say.
The native Japanese macaque monkeys escaped from a breeding enclosure at Takagoyama Zoo in Chiba province, east of Tokyo, on Wednesday.
A person was speculated to have made a hole in the fence which the primates escaped through, local media reported.
Zookeepers and police are now hoping that the animals can be lured with food at the usual mealtime and caught again, they reported.
Macaques had fled the zoo last year when the enclosure was damaged in a typhoon.
