One of the 43 monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in South Carolina has been found unharmed, while others remain nearby. The monkeys, all young female Rhesus macaques, escaped due to human error when a caretaker failed to secure enclosure doors. Efforts to recapture them continue, with police using thermal technology and traps, and staff enticing them with food. The public is advised to avoid the area to prevent startling the animals, and to report any sightings to authorities.
