Officials in Suth Carlina have recaptured (重新捕获) the last f 43 mnkeys that escaped frm a farm that raises mnkeys in early Nvember.
Head f Alpha Genesis research center, Greg Westergaard, said the final fur recaptured mnkeys appeared t be in gd health. The remaining mnkeys had spent weeks living in the wds and even experienced a rare snwstrm.
Alpha Genesis is a cmpany that ffers services t bimedical researchers. Sme lcals call it “the mnkey farm.” The animals — all female rhesus macaque mnkeys — escaped frm the grunds f the cmpany n Nvember 6.

Emplyees at Alpha Genesis tried t persuade the mnkeys t return with ffers f special fds, including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and “mnkey biscuits” — a high-prtein fd made specially fr rhesus macaques.
