A Missouri monkey has been brought back to her owners with the help of a sandwich, it has been revealed.

Missing for a total of five days, the capuchin monkey went missing on June 19th but was rescued after being spotted on a fence by a motorist.

Capuchin monkeys are known to live in a number of areas, including Central and South America.

The monkey, known as Tobi, is considered old by capuchin standards at approximately 40 years of age.

According to reports, Tobi was lured back to her owners with the aid of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - and a cage.

"Capuchins, considered among the most intelligent of the new world monkeys, are named for their 'caps' of hair, which resemble the cowls of Capuchin monks," states the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
