Wild Monkey Escape in South Carolina: Authorities Launch Search
A remarkable incident in Yemassee, South Carolina, has left authorities scrambling after 43 young rhesus monkeys escaped from a biomedical research facility owned by Alpha Genesis. The monkeys got loose when an employee accidentally left their enclosure unlocked. Local police are urging residents to keep doors and windows secured and to report any sightings. Search teams are employing food to lure the frightened animals, which are too young to carry diseases. As the search continues, footage has surfaced of the monkeys roaming freely in the surrounding woods.
