The minuscule Titi monkey, who is only 6-in long and 3-months of age when stolen on Sunday at the La Plata zoo, which at the time of the theft had 4000 visitors.

The Authorities are said to be looking for two young men and have requested visitors who had taken photographs at the time of the incident to come forward.
