SAN DIEGO -- Freedom isn't all that great. At least to one escaped monkey.

Takala, a golden-bellied mangabey, got out of the new monkey exhibit at the San Diego Zoo Friday. But he was found less than an hour later, waiting to get back inside.

Zookeepers said they were searching for Takala, when they opened an outside door to the monkey exhibit and he walked right in. Officials had moved visitors away from the area while searching for the monkey.

Officials said Takala escaped through a hole in the netting around the enclosure. But they're not sure if Takala actually made the hole or just found it.

The $28 million Monkey Trails and Forest Tales exhibit opened this month and has been promoted by the zoo as a more natural and visitor-friendly setting than its original monkey habitat.

He knows he will get fed well there..just like some people see prison as a step up in life
