A group of monkeys found themselves taking an unexpected trip to Europe after boarding a Maersk ship in Malaysia.
The five monkeys were discovered climbing on top of containers aboard the 15,550 TEU Eugene Maersk a few days after departing the Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia bound for Rotterdam, but by that time it was too late to return the stowaways back home.
After noticing the monkeys onboard, the crew of the Eugene Maersk alerted the Copenhagen Zoo who helped identify the species and provided instructions on diet and how to catch the primates. The crew was eventually able to catch the monkeys and hold them in a makeshift cage.
Upon arrival in Rotterdam, the monkeys were released to the Dutch monkey foundation, Stitching AAP.

Tarzan was perplexed when, long after Jane returned from shopping at the mall, Cheetah had still not returned. Due to the unfortunate miscommunication, he and his friends were still on their cruise...
