“The last of 43 escaped monkeys has returned to the Alpha Genesis research lab in Yemassee, S.C., nearly three months after an attendant accidentally left two doors unsecured. The Rhesus Macaque monkey returned to the facility Friday and was in good condition, WCSC reported. The facility is about 95 miles west of Charleston. The monkey’s return was confirmed by Alpha Genesis Chief Executive Officer Greg Westergaard. The primates on the night of Nov. 6 escaped from their confines at the Alpha Genesis facility in Beaufort County but remained close to the facility. Alpha Genesis officials said the monkeys did not pose a danger to the local community and were staying on and near the facility’s grounds.” (01/25/25)
