Cornelius is a brown and furry, introverted rhesus macaque monkey who happens to also be famous for spending four years as a fugitive in South Florida! Under the moniker "The Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay," Cornelius continually eluded wildlife officials trying to trap him until he was finally caught in St. Petersburg in 2012...and found to have contracted Herpes B. Ouch.
Despite the herpes, the zoo that finally re-incarcerated the Dr. Richard Kimble of primates has announced that they have found Cornelius a suitable female mate. So far, the lucky lady's identity remains secret, but zoo officials did say that she is a perfect companion because of her similar "social habits." If that's true, it sounds like there may soon be a whole family of rhesus monkeys on the lam.
