官員週六表示，從南卡羅來納州一處院落中逃脫的 43 隻為醫學研究而飼養的猴子中，其中一隻已被救出，安然無恙。

Forty-three monkeys bred for medical research escaped a compound in South Carolina on Wednesday, and many of them were still close to the property on Saturday, jumping back and forth over the facility’s fence, police said.

警方稱，週三，43 只為醫學研究而飼養的猴子逃離了南卡羅來納州的一處院落，其中許多猴子週六仍在該院附近，在設施的圍欄上來回跳躍。
