No they will go after you

I thought they were vervet monkeys

[@glennchristie2316]

Your video was very scenic but I had to turn your voice up several times and I had to turn the music down. Maybe you could adjust that in your next presentation. The music is “Way too loud.” Thank You ahead of time.

Does anyone know if I can float and fish this section ? Catch and release of course.

[@karenwills-hj3nk]

You went during mating season ? We don’t snorkel at all during that time .I’d go in a boat only

When I saw the ‘to be continued’ I literally yelled out “nooooo!!” So so good. Loved the footage, transitions, commentary, interviews...so impressed!

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

Gotta keep ya on your toes!

[@charlescooper1394]

Amazing work! Francesca gasped at the manatee and alligator shots and we both loved the monkey shots as well. The score was so well done creating feelings of peace and suspense at the right times! Killer work, use this video to apply for Nat geo

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

We have so many copies of the Nat Geo magazines in the apartment, it would be a dream to be recognized by them.

The water is so clear!

I was today years old when learning there was any kind of primate living in the wild in America. Or just plain N. America. I'm not sure how i feel Arnott that.

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

[@janymicale5637]

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

Haha ❤️ thank you! The next two videos should be pretty fun ones too :)

Another flashback to the 60's for me. Went there when I was young one with my Dad. Good video, getting better and I really enjoyed your footage.

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

Thanks Bruce, I wish I had seen this place in the 60s; I hear the water clarity was even better then.

[@user-qx3sg8xr1c]

@@theswashbuckjournal3924 Yeah, I grew up in rural Orange County near Orlando so I used to stomp around all the springs, rivers, and beaches in that area. Most of those places are unrecognizable to me today and I have no desire to go there. Hell, we used to be able to actually camp on New Smyrna beach, no tolls, no entry fees--miss those days. Some of the least know springs are feeding the Suwannee River, over 300. If you ever get up around Peacock Springs, check out Drew bridge. Looking forward to your next video!

[@Tarbtano]

I was putting together an indie KZbin documentary about the history of the Silver River and springs monkeys and I was wondering if you would be okay with me using some of your footage? With proper crediting of course such a mention in the credits/description and a name tag on the footsge. You have some simply wonderful shots.

[@maricethernandez844]

This is truly beautiful...especially the macaques at the end.

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

The macaques really brought it home :)

[@GlamorousBeauty1477]

We need more videos gorgeous babes I’m hooked

[@theswashbuckjournal3924]

Haha thank you! We're pretty excited to film our next two. When will we be seeing your lovely self on camera again?

If a gator came near my inflatable, I would be an Olympic kayaker.
