Several rhesus monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck in Mississippi on Thursday were euthanized, according to officials. One is still on the loose.
"We have been in contact with an animal disposal company to help handle the situation," the Jasper County Sheriff's Office said. "Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries is also on site with our local law enforcement. We are continuing to look for the one monkey that is still on the loose."
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office said the truck was transporting the monkeys from Tulane University when it overturned on Tuesday on Interstate 59, north of Heidelberg.
