How does a park/zoo not know the count of their monkeys? The RFID badge on my belt can be used track my movements as I walk through the office and keep a tally of the building's headcount on any given day.
Baboon, possibly from amusement park, on run in NJ
The Associated Press
JACKSON, N.J. - A baboon is on the loose in New Jersey.
Police say they received two calls Thursday afternoon from people who saw the monkey.
One came from a driver who said the animal was near Interstate 195. The second came from a woman who said a baboon was sitting on her back porch in Jackson.
The baboon may have escaped from the nearby Six Flags Great Adventure's Monkey Jungle. The park has 150 baboons.
Park officials say they are not positive one of theirs is missing because the animals are not counted daily. The Great Adventure baboons are fenced in and implanted with microchips.
Officials say anyone who spots the roaming baboon should call police , and not approach the animal, even though baboons are not typically aggressive.

I need a belt for my RFID badge because I do not have a security microchip embedded in my body. The monkeys at SFGA have the chip so they can be identified or tracked.
