Authorities in South Carolina have successfully recaptured the last four of 43 escaped monkeys after a two-month ordeal in the woods. The rhesus macaque monkeys, all females, managed to escape from their enclosure at Alpha Genesis, a facility known locally as 'the monkey farm,' where they are bred for medical research.
The monkeys made their escape on November 6th due to an employee inadvertently leaving the gates unlocked. Despite their time in the wild, the recaptured monkeys were found to be in good health, according to Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard.
