Woodland Park Zoo: "Somebody Stop That Monkey!"

NWCN just tweeted that a DeBrazza monkey has escaped and Woodland Park Zoo is in lockdown while its recovery is in progress. No word on the sex, but if it is a male escapee, it'll have a bright blue scrotum, which may aid in spotting it. Seriously. That is an Animal Fact! [UPDATE: The monkey has been caught. Lockdown is over. Please return to your normal daily routines. The Zoo says, "The animal had been at the zoo since May 2008, but was just being introduced for the first time to its outdoor exhibit this week, located in the zoo’s award-winning Tropical Rain Forest. It was his second day in the exhibit. We’ve returned the animal to its behind-the-scenes holding area until further notice. This will allow us to assess the exhibit and make any necessary modifications."]

But what do I do if I spot any other bright blue scrotums?

And why, when I add the "s" to scrotum is it now misspelled? Is there a proper plural form of scrotum, or does it simply revert to "balls" at that point?

"Scrota"? Hey, no little red underline. There you have it.

Ah, yes. Scrota. I look forward to finding some reason to use that word often in the near future.
