Two more monkeys that escaped last week from a South Carolina research facility were recaptured Tuesday, according to the facility's CEO, bringing the total number of primates caught and returned to 32 since the incident. Eleven monkeys are still on the loose.
Greg Westergaard, the chief executive officer of the facility Alpha Genesis, in Yemassee, South Carolina, told CBS News that both of the newly-trapped monkeys were healthy and enjoying a meal of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Fruit Loops were also "planned for dessert," Westergaard said.
He added none of the monkeys, rhesus macaque primates used for biomedical study, showed signs of "ill effects from their adventure" and all continued "to do well."
