News summary

One of the 43 monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina, has been recovered unharmed, according to local police. The monkeys escaped due to an employee's error in securing doors while performing routine maintenance. As of Saturday, the remaining 42 monkeys are reportedly staying close to the facility, interacting with their counterparts inside, and exhibiting calm behaviors, which police view as a positive sign. Recovery efforts are ongoing, with staff using food and humane traps to lure the animals back. Authorities emphasize that these Rhesus macaques pose no public health risk and are urging residents to avoid the area, as the monkeys can be easily startled. The facility specializes in breeding these primates for biomedical research and has a history of similar incidents.
