It's been more than a month since Moe the Chimp took voluntary leave of his digs at Devore's Jungle Exotics, and he hasn't been found. So now it's time to call off the search, since there aren't enough funds or resources to keep the hunt active. His trainers hope that the missing chimp is still alive, and now just hope he'll "make an appearance." Multiple sightings of what may have been Moe, from a nudist resort to folks driving around Big Bear to a stranded hiker, haven't helped pin down the wandering chimpanzee. Maybe will Moe will wander home, after all.

Moe, the 42-year-old chimpanzee that escaped from Jungle Exotics in Devore over the weekend, was under the care of an animal trainer who was sued for animal cruelty and later barred from working with chimps in a December 2006 settlement, according to the Animal Legal Defense Fund.

A 34-year-old chimpanzee that was raised in a West Covina family's home for three decades escaped from a wildlife sanctuary in San Bernardino County Friday night.
