HEIDELBERG, Miss, Oct 29, (AP): Monkeys being transported on a Mississippi highway escaped captivity Tuesday after the truck carrying them overturned, according to law enforcement. All but one of the escaped monkeys were killed, the Jasper County Sheriff\u2019s Department said in a post on Facebook, warning that the monkeys were “aggressive.” <\/span><\/p>\n It was not clear how many monkeys were originally in the truck. The truck was carrying Rhesus monkeys, which typically weigh around 16 pounds (7.7 kilograms) and are among the most medically studied animals on the planet. They were being housed at the Tulane University National Biomedical Research Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, which routinely provides primates to scientific research organizations, according to the university. <\/span><\/p>\n In a statement, Tulane University said the monkeys do not belong to the university, and they were not being transported by the university. It was not clear who owns the monkeys, who was transporting them or where they were being taken. Video shows monkeys crawling through tall grass on the side of Interstate 59 just north of Heidelberg, Mississippi, with wooden crates labeled “live animals\u201d crumpled and strewn about. <\/span><\/p>\n The sheriff’s department initially said the monkeys were carrying diseases including herpes, but Tulane University said in a statement that the monkeys “have not been exposed to any infectious agent.” The sheriff’s department responded by saying the driver of the truck told law enforcement the monkeys were dangerous and needed to be handled using personal protective equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n Tulane University said it was working with law enforcement. Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries was also on site. The crash happened about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the state capital of Jackson. It was not clear what caused the truck to overturn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from content and romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
