43 Monkeys on the Loose After Escape from South Carolina Research Lab
A group of 43 rhesus macaques has escaped from Alpha Genesis, a primate research facility in South Carolina, after a keeper accidentally left their enclosure door open. Authorities are actively locating the young female monkeys, urging residents to report sightings and avoid approaching the animals. With efforts hampered by rain, police are using traps and thermal imaging cameras for the search. This is not the first escape from Alpha Genesis, raising concerns among local officials, although authorities assert there is minimal danger to the public.
