Primatologist discusses Central Florida monkey sightings

A recent viral video shows a monkey in a rather unusual place recently: a wooded bank along the St. Johns River.
The tour operator who took the video - Colin Innes with St. John’s River Eco Tours - told News 6 that he was out on the river near Orange City when he captured the strange sight.
According to Innes, in all the years he’s been working on the water, this was the first time he ever spotted a monkey.
“I looked up into a tree and kind of went, ‘What’s that!?’” he explained. “I got a little bit closer and realized that I had a monkey probably about 30 feet from me. And trust me, that’s not something you see out here on a regular basis whatsoever, so I was shocked.”

Holly Hill, FL had a group of wild monkeys when they escaped a roadside petting zoo. I have not heard of any sightings in decades ~~ So interesting!!
