SM 19 MAY79 scan0009 copy

Baboons often escaped their enclosure and would 'raid' the maintence and fire dept bldgs and even get into the stable area causing a great deal of 'panic' by the horses there.

As funny as it sounds to 'outsiders' The arena staff were quite serious when they warned everyone in the area to be alert, as the Baboons could be quite dangerous if the chose to be agressive. The escapees were returned to their proper area shortly after that incident, but breakouts have happened now and then over the years.
