"This one was not on my bingo card," GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska told reporters after learning that President-elect Donald Trump had announced Rep.

43 monkeys that were being used for vaccine development escaped from a lab in Yemassee, South Carolina on Wednesday and are currently on the loose. This video, taken near the facility on Wednesday afternoon, appears to show shadowy figures moving through the woods. CBS News could not confirm that the figures are the missing monkeys. People are advised not to try and capture, feed, or handle the monkeys. According to the CDC, some monkeys can carry B virus which can be deadly to people; “Even if a monkey doesn’t appear to be ill, it can still be infected. [The monkeys] are wild animals, even if they have been raised around people. Like any wild animals, they may bite, spit, or scratch when frightened. For these reasons, people should not attempt to capture, feed, or handle the escaped monkeys.” #news #monkey #southcarolina
