Residents of Yemassee, South Carolina, have been advised to lock their windows and doors after 43 monkeys escaped from a facility on the edge of the town. They are yet to be captured.
READ MORE:A resident in the South Carolina town where dozens of monkeys are on the loose has revealed their terrifying encounter with one of the 'diseased' animals from a separate incident.
A local business owner, who asked to remain anonymous, told DailyMail.com how they came face-to-face with a monkey with a 'softball-sized' tumor on its neck and a deranged look in its eyes in a separate incident they said occurred in 2020. 'It's not like they left the door open,' he said, 'the individual shut it but the latch wasn't secured correctly so that it was"monkey-proof."
The escaped monkeys are mostly small females weighing 6 to 7lbs, Dr Westergaard said, that are 'skittish' and sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements. 'I have seen escaped monkeys near the county hall campus before, but it has been quite a while since this happened.
