The Great Monkey Invasion Continues in Lebanon, Ohio

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — Residents of a quiet town in southwest Ohio swear they’re not seeing things when they tell people monkeys are on the loose in their neighborhood.

WLWT-TV reports residents in Lebanon, a city about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Cincinnati, have used their phones to capture photos of the monkeys hanging out in trees.

WIAT:  Ohio residents say monkeys on the loose in neighborhood

Crikey, mates.  How many bloody monkeys are in this invasion?


Lebanon police say they’re aware of the reported monkey sightings and are investigating. Residents suspect the monkeys were pets at some point.

We could see it that these monkeys could have come from pet owners if there were only one or two of them but not when they comprise an invasion force.


Residents say the monkeys haven’t been spotted since being photographed several weeks ago but can still be heard.

They're biding their time until they're ready and then they will start advancing again.

Zen Yogi:  why do they do it?

Maybe they just like carpet and they want to go to Harry's Carpet Barn for the best deals on carpet anywhere.

Zen Yogi:  I hate to break it to you, Silas, but Harry ate the carpet about three years ago and he's now an ex-carpet salesman.

That's bad news, Yogi, since that means we have no idea why they come.

Zen Yogi:  we can only wait to see what they will do when they make their next move

Meanwhile get out of Lebanon?

Zen Yogi:  it does seem prudent
