The Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center reported that a caretaker accidentally left an enclosure door unsecured, allowing 43 young rhesus macaques to escape.
Police urge residents to lock doors and windows while search teams work to locate the skittish monkeys, which weigh between 6 and 7 pounds.
CEO Greg Westergaard likened the escape to 'monkey see, monkey do', noting that 50 monkeys were in total, with only 7 remaining behind.
Despite the frustrating circumstances of the escape, Westergaard expressed hope that the young monkeys would return on their own.
