The final holdouts of a group of monkeys that escaped from a research facility in South Carolina over two months ago have been recaptured safely, the Yemassee Police Department announced on Friday.
The 43 rhesus macaque primates escaped after a caretaker failed to secure doors. All are back at the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in Yemassee. The last four, recaptured this week, “appear to be in good health,” Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard said, according to police.
