This photo provided by the Dallas Zoo shows an emperor tamarin that lives at the zoo. Two of the monkeys were taken Jan. 30 from the zoo, the latest in a string of odd incidents at the attraction that are being investigated.

Court records say Davion Irvin told police that he jumped a zoo fence after dark, cut the metal mesh of a tamarin monkey enclosure and took the two emperor tamarin monkeys before escaping by train.
