In the 1995s JumanjiKirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce discover a strange board game in the attic of their new home. As they roll the dice, words emerge: “This will not be an easy mission.” Monkeys are slowing down the expedition.”

That scene came to life in South Carolina Wednesday afternoon when Yemassee police reported that 43 rhesus macaques escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center.

Authorities said the monkeys were very young females weighing “approximately 6 to 7 pounds” and no tests had been performed on them due to their age and size. A spokesman for the research center confirmed that they were not carriers of the disease.

Rhesus monkeys, a species of Old World monkey, are highly intelligent. Although their diet typically consists of fruits, seeds, herbs and insects, that doesn’t mean they don’t also rummage through residents’ trash and gardens. Authorities warned homes in Beaufort County to lock their doors and windows while traps and thermal cameras are used to track them.

“Alpha Genesis is currently keeping an eye on the primates and is working to attract them with food,” the statement said. “The public is advised to avoid the area as these animals are described as skittish and any additional noise or movement could hinder their safe capture.”

Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard said: CBS News that an employee accidentally left the door to the monkey enclosure unsecured. “It’s really like following the leader,” Westergaard said. “You see one go and the others go. There was a group of 50 people, seven stayed behind and 43 ran out the door.”

When news of the primate escape hit the Internet, it was impossible not to think of this scene Jumanji, Especially when they destroy the kitchen and steal David Alan Grier’s police car. But this might be an easier cleanup than in the movie: There are no ferocious lions, evil wasps, ravenous alligators, and other pests to worry about — just the convicted felon our country recently voted back into office.
