A monkey nicknamed Kingussie Kong who escaped a wildlife park in the Scottish Highlands is making his way back to the sanctuary, say keepers after he was tracked by drones roaming the countryside. The male Japanese macaque, which broke free from the Highland Wildlife Park on Sunday was captured by an aerial camera on Tuesday afternoon in the latest sighting. Footage of Kingussie Kong shows the monkey clambering through thick undergrowth of a forest after being located by a drone specialist. The red-faced primate has been called so by residents of the nearest town, Kingussie. Ben Harrower, the director of BH Wildlife Consultancy, confirmed he had located Kingussie Kong on January 30.
