A monkey has made a 911 call at a zoo in California.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that police officers were dispatched to investigate the call - and they eventually discovered that it was actually made by a monkey.

In a statement on Facebook, the police said: "Our Deputies have seen their fair share of "monkey business" in the County. But nothing quite like this.

"It all started Saturday night when we received a 911 call that had disconnected. Dispatchers tried to call and text back but they received no response. So Deputies were sent to investigate.

"The address took them to the offices of Zoo to You near Paso Robles. No one there had placed the call.

"Was someone trying to make us look like a monkey's uncle?

"Then they all realized... it must have been Route the Capuchin monkey. (sic)"
