The monkeys have been returned to the zoo and will be checked by veterinarians, according to zoo officials.
Police found the monkeys in a closet at the Lancaster, Tex., home around 5 p.m. Dallas and Lancaster officers were responding to a tip that the animals might have been abandoned at the house, police said. No one was home when the monkeys were found, they added.
The zoo closed that day amid what it called a “serious situation” — one of its clouded leopards was not in its habitat, leading to a day-long search for the animal, which was found on the grounds that afternoon. On Monday, the zoo was closed to the public because of bad weather. Staffers noticed two of the zoo’s emperor tamarins were missing from their enclosure around 7 a.m.
That same day, Dallas Zoo staffers spotted a similar cut in the fencing where its langur monkeys are held. None of the monkeys were missing or harmed, police said at the time.
