The Yemassee police department has strongly advised residents to secure their homes as 40 monkeys have escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility, warning that if spotted, they should call 911 and avoid approaching them.
Authorities are deploying traps and using thermal imaging cameras to locate the escaped monkeys, collaborating with staff from Alpha Genesis, which specializes in primate research.
This incident is part of a concerning trend, as the escape of monkeys is not uncommon in the area, evidenced by previous incidents, including another escape in 2016 and a recent case with a Japanese macaque.
Alpha Genesis, the research facility from which the monkeys escaped, claims to provide high-quality nonhuman primate products and bio-research services globally, emphasizing their commitment to effective primate research.
