Dean Lipson is the San Diego Zoo administrator. When Ross Geller tries to find Marcel, Mr. Lipson reveals that he passed away. He said that he "got sick, then he got sicker. Then he got a little better... but then he died."

Later a janitor tells Ross that he knows the true whereabouts of Marcel. He informs him that there was a break-in and he was taken (along with a snowy egret, a two-toed sloth, and three hooded sweatshirts from the zoo gift shop) and that the story told to Ross is a big cover up because the zoo wants to avoid bad publicity.

Dean Lipson leaves Ross with the saying "Sometimes monkeys die" and zoo dollars.
