Video: Monkeys on the Loose After Escaping Research Center

Monkeys That Escaped Research Lab Thought to Be Dangerous

On the evening of May 19th, three monkeys housed at a medical research center in Texas escaped their enclosures, prompting a citywide search. The escaped monkeys are believed to be crab-eating macaques, a species known for their aggressive behavior.

A spokesperson for the research center said that the monkeys were part of a study on the effects of a new drug to treat Alzheimer's disease. The spokesperson said that the monkeys were not infected with Alzheimer's disease, but were being used as a model to study the effects of the drug on brain function.

The monkeys escaped from their enclosures through a hole in the roof of the research center. The hole was apparently caused by a construction crew that was working on the building. The monkeys were able to climb through the hole and escape onto the roof of the building.

Monkeys Spotted in Several Locations

The escaped monkeys have been spotted in several locations in the city, including a park, a shopping mall, and a residential area. The monkeys have been seen climbing on trees, jumping on cars, and even attacking people.

Police have been searching for the monkeys, but have not yet been able to capture them. The monkeys are considered to be dangerous, and the public has been warned to stay away from them.

The research center has apologized for the escape of the monkeys and said that it is taking steps to prevent future escapes.
