Last 4 escaped monkeys are captured in South Carolina after months on the loose
Officials say they have recaptured the final four monkeys who escaped two months ago from a South Carolina compound that breeds them for medical research. Yemassee Police announced the final captures Friday in a social media post without further details. The 43 monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis facility through unlocked gates. The last holdouts have spent two months living in the woods, weathering a rare snowstorm and being temped back into captivity by peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard said in a statement that all the monkeys appeared to be in good health.
