Beaufort County authorities were notified on Wednesday about numerous rhesus macaques that fled from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research facility in Yemassee, as reported by WCSC-TV. Local residents were advised to take safety measures, including securing their homes and avoiding interaction with the primates if seen, instead calling 911. The public was cautioned that the animals are easily startled, which could hinder recovery efforts. Police and staff from Alpha Genesis are using advanced thermal imaging and traps to locate the monkeys, while food is being placed in nearby woods to lure them back. All 43 escaped monkeys remain unrecaptured as of Friday; they got out due to an unsecured door left by a caretaker. An Alpha Genesis representative stated that these young female research animals do not carry diseases and have not been used for testing yet.
