Breaking: BIO-RESEARCH LAB'S EMERGENENT SEARCH FOR ESCAPED RHESUS MONKEYS

40 to 43 rhesus monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Bio Lab in Yemassee, South Carolina, on Wednesday night, and authorities are currently conducting an urgent hunt for them.

The Yemassee Police Department is using thermal imaging cameras and traps to find the animals after verifying the escape.

Because the monkeys' escape could endanger public health, residents are urged to keep doors and windows closed, stay away from the animals, and phone 911 if they are sighted.
