A truck carrying monkeys from Tulane University overturned on a Mississippi highway, releasing several aggressive monkeys into the community. The monkeys, which carry hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID, were described as requiring personal protective equipment to handle. Most of the escaped monkeys have been destroyed, with authorities still searching for one remaining monkey. Tulane University stated that the escaped monkeys belong to another entity and are not infectious, and they are collaborating with local authorities to address the situation.
