Monkey sighting information Be careful even near Disney Resort Chiba Urayasu November 2, 17:58
Since the end of last month, monkey sightings have been gathered one after another in residential areas such as Ichikawa City and Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture.
On the 2nd, sightings were received at an elementary school in Urayasu City near Tokyo Disney Resort and in the adjacent Edogawa Ward in Tokyo, and police and others patrolled at the elementary school's leaving time to call attention.
Since one monkey was witnessed in Kamagaya City on the 28th of last month in Chiba Prefecture, sightings have been received one after another in Ichikawa City and Urayasu City by the 2nd.
According to the police, the monkeys are considered to be the same individual, and based on sightings, they moved from north to south in Ichikawa City from the morning of the 29th of last month to the morning of the 1st of this month, and after entering Urayasu City around 10 am on the 1st. It seems that it continued southward.
Around 7:30 am on the 2nd, a police officer who was witnessed at Maihama Elementary School, about 500 meters from Tokyo Disney Resort, confirmed the monkeys on the balcony on the second floor of the elementary school.
After that, the monkey jumped off the balcony, overcame the fence on the school grounds, and ran away in the direction of the residential area.
An elementary school teacher who witnessed the monkey said, "I was surprised to see a monkey appearing in the city of Urayasu. The monkey seemed to be thin at a size of about 60 cm, but it ran away at a tremendous speed, and it happened in a blink of an eye. I'm glad my child wasn't injured before going to school. "
Urayasu City and local police patrolled the area where sightings were received at the time of leaving elementary school on the 2nd, calling for caution, saying that monkeys may appear again.
On the other hand, there is information that a monkey was witnessed in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, which is adjacent to Urayasu City, around 11:00 am, and local governments and police approached when they found a monkey and stimulated it or ate food. I am calling on the police to call me without giving it.
