​Residents in a South Carolina town were advised to close their windows and doors after 43 rhesus macaque monkeys escaped a testing facility Thursday. The warning came after the primates fled the “Alpha Genesis facility located on Castle Hall Road,” the Yemassee Police Department (YPD) posted on social media. “Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the department said. In an update at 1 p.m. Thursday, the YPD said that it had eyes on the primates and were attempting to entice them with food. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Yemassee Police Department for comment.
