南卡罗来纳州超过一半的逃亡猴子安然无恙

周日，24 只猴子被抓获，一天前，43 只逃跑的猴子中的另一只被找到。

Authorities said Sunday that more than half of the monkeys bred for medical research that escaped from a compound in South Carolina last week have now been recovered unharmed.

当局周日表示，上周从南卡罗来纳州一处院落中逃脱的为医学研究而饲养的猴子中，一半以上现已被安全救出。

Twenty-four monkeys were captured on Sunday, a day after another of the 43 escaped monkeys was recovered.

周日，24 只猴子被抓获，一天前，43 只逃跑的猴子中的另一只被找到。

A “sizeable group” remains active along the compound's fence line and bedded down in the trees for the night, police in Yemassee, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Savannah, Georgia, said in a statement. Veterinarians have been examining the animals and initial reports indicate they are all in good health, police said.

佐治亚州萨凡纳东北约 50 英里（80 公里）处的耶马西警方在一份声明中表示，有“相当大的一群人”仍然沿着大院的栅栏线活动，并在树上过夜。警方表示，兽医一直在对这些动物进行检查，初步报告显示它们的健康状况良好。

The Rhesus macaques made a break for it Wednesday after an employee at the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee didn’t fully lock a door as she fed and checked on them, officials said.

官员称，周三，在耶马西 Alpha Genesis 工厂的一名员工在给恒河猴喂食和检查时，没有完全锁上门，导致恒河猴得以逃脱。

Since their escape, the monkeys have explored the outer fence of the Alpha Genesis compound, cooing at the monkeys inside. The primates continued to interact with their companions inside the facility Saturday, which police have said was a positive sign.

自从逃跑后，猴子们一直在探索阿尔法创世纪大院的外栅栏，对里面的猴子咕咕叫。周六，灵长类动物继续在设施内与同伴互动，警方称这是一个积极的迹象。

Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard has said that efforts to recover all the monkeys will continue for as long as it takes.

Alpha Genesis 首席执行官格雷格·韦斯特加德 (Greg Westergaard) 表示，只要需要，恢复所有猴子的努力就会继续下去。

The monkeys are about the size of a cat. They are all females weighing about 7 pounds (3 kilograms).

猴子大约有猫那么大。它们都是雌性，体重约 7 磅（3 公斤）。

Alpha Genesis, federal health officials and police all said the monkeys pose no risk to public health. The facility breeds the monkeys to sell to medical and other researchers.

Alpha Genesis、联邦卫生官员和警方均表示，这些猴子不会对公共健康构成风险。该设施饲养猴子并出售给医学和其他研究人员。

Alpha Genesis provides primates for research worldwide at its compound in Yemassee, according to its website.
