One Escaped Monkey Recovered, 42 Still Loose in South Carolina

One of 43 rhesus macaque monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina, has been safely recaptured, while 42 others remain on the loose. The monkeys, bred for medical research, escaped after an employee failed to fully secure a door. Despite their escape, officials assure that the monkeys pose no public health risk. Efforts to recover the remaining monkeys are ongoing, with the animals still interacting with those inside the facility.
