South Carolina Lab Struggles to Recapture Escaped Monkeys

Twenty-four of the 43 monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in Yemassee, South Carolina, have been recovered, with efforts ongoing to capture the remaining 18. The monkeys, young female Rhesus macaques, escaped due to a human error when a caretaker failed to secure enclosure doors. Authorities have urged local residents to secure their homes and avoid the area while the search continues.
