Curious George Escapes from Peru

NEW YORK (CNN) — Passengers aboard Spirit Airlines Flight 180 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to New York’s LaGuardia International Airport had an unexpected travel companion Tuesday: a small monkey.

A passenger who originally departed from Lima, Peru, and connected in Fort Lauderdale had been hiding the small monkey in his ponytail, under his hat, according to Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell.

During the flight, the monkey crawled out of its hiding spot, forcing the owner to hold it in his hands, where the unexpected visitor was soon spotted by fellow passengers and crew members, Russell said.

The Port Authority Police Department was contacted by Spirit Airlines, and officials met the owner and the monkey at the gate.

What a coincidence – the Dowbrigade’s own personal Curious George is also on his way from Peru to La Guardia with a monkey on his back. Getting out of the country might be a problem; his tourist visa is five years out of date. We are loathe to divulge any more details until the big ape surfaces somewhere in the free world…..
