Thirteen research monkeys were on the loose Monday after an additional five of the 43 primates that escaped from a research lab in South Carolina last week were captured unharmed, authorities said. The discoveries on Monday — first there were three, then two more — mean 13 of the Rhesus macaques remain outside the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in the town of Yemassee, South Carolina.
Police in the town, about 60 miles west of Charleston, have urged neighbors to be vigilant and keep doors and windows closed and secured. 'Efforts to safely capture the remaining primates will continue throughout the evening and as long as necessary,' police said Monday.
