Monkeys on the Loose: The Mississippi Escape Incident

Three Rhesus monkeys remain on the run in Mississippi following the overturning of a truck transporting research animals. Initially, it was reported all but one monkey had been accounted for, but later revelations confirmed three primates are still missing.

Despite warnings from the truck's occupants that the monkeys could be dangerous and carry diseases, Tulane University clarified that the animals are not infectious. Officials, however, described them as aggressive and said they needed to be 'neutralized.' The primates were part of a group routinely used for scientific research by institutions nationwide.

Footage shows the animals wandering near Interstate 59, where their crates lay in disarray. Sheriffs urge the public to avoid interaction and report sightings. The crash site is located around 100 miles from Jackson, though details on the cause remain unclear.
