JACKSON, MS – The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) has confirmed that the final unaccounted for Rhesus Macaque has been recovered.

On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, a truck transporting Rhesus Macaques from Tulane National Biomedical Research Center overturned on Interstate 59, north of Heidelberg, Mississippi. The crash led to the escape of eight of the 21 Rhesus Macaques on board. Five of the eight were recovered at the crash site and three escaped.

The final Rhesus Macaque was recovered in Jasper County near the crash site following a report from a local resident who called 1-800-BE-SMART to provide the animal’s location. A local officer and a wildlife transport contractor responded to the call and successfully recovered the animal.
