In a scene reminiscent of an escape thriller, 43 rhesus macaque monkeys made a break for freedom from Alpha Genesis, a primate research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina. The young monkeys, bred specifically for biomedical research, seized an unexpected opportunity on Wednesday when an enclosure door was reportedly left open by a new employee, per reports from USA Today. Now, residents in the area have been advised to stay alert as authorities work to recapture the elusive primates.
