I find it funny that Florida has restrictions, we have large colonies of monkeys living in the wild.
It seems that a week doesn't go by with out a newspaper/TV article about a monkey in someone's neighborhood. :)

You can thank Tarzan for the monkeys down at Silver Springs!
or which ever legend you choose to believe.

According to legend, the animals were accidentally released during filming of Tarzan movies in the 1930s.
