This monkey must have wheels. The latest sighting of the four-foot tall primate reportedly roaming the area was made at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, but this time it was in South Elgin. “A call came into our dispatcher from the north end of Raymond Street that someone had seen the monkey,” South Elgin Deputy Police Chief A. J. Moore said. An officer visited the site, but nothing was found, Moore said. Earlier this week, police received reports of a 4-foot-tall monkey or primate being seen on Elgin’s southwest side in the woods between Fire Station No. 4 and the Buena Vista Apartments, Elgin Deputy Police. This latest sighting occurred around Raymond and Riverview streets on the east side of South Elgin, several miles from the previous sighting at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on Vernon Drive in Elgin.

Elgin police said they are taking the reports of monkey sightings seriously and according to one theory, someone might have abandoned their pet chimpanzee. Some Fox Valley police officers have expressed skepticism about a primate on the loose and say the reports might be hoaxes.

Man chimpanzee sure are cute animals

And how many centimeters is a foot?

One foot is about 30 cm

I'm sorry, but that photo just screams, "Man in Suit!"

Could be. That is just a generic photo.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was someone's pet that got loose. I live about 30 miles from Elgin, where this happened. Not far from there is an animal rescue place that gets all sorts of illegal, mistreated, and neglected animals. I know they've had anything from big cats to monkies.

looks like bigfoot's son knows how to walk now..........interesting i going to find more information about this

Ah...oh, yes. Ahem, nothing to see here...
