First of all, we need to find out who has been playing the Jumanji board game.
😂😂😂
You win the internet for this comment.
U followers make me sick.. say anything for clout or a like. ....

eXActly, considering there's a recent video of an elephant running in the streets of a Montana town
Is it really surprising? Florida is like Jurassic Park
Yep, there’s a bunch of old dinosaurs around here.
Not far off. In large groups, macaques can be very aggressive.
I mean look at south beach
That's a nice way to say full of ignorant nazis.
More like Jumanji
The report did not investigate where the monkeys could have possibly come from.
Inbreeding with the locals
Because if you're from Florida you know where they came from they've been here for almost 90 years
They’re from Shitcago…
From Florida
Most likely they are coming from silver springs now defunct amusement park we had in the 60s-70s these animals got loose and were never recaptured
Just wrapping my head around the alligators, the snakes, the pumas, some bears, and now there's monkeys. Only in Florida😅
You forgot crocodiles and puss caterpillars!
Iguanas lol
Giant spiders 🕷️
And Floridian drivers…
The monkeys have been in Florida since the 60s.
And do not feed them
ya think ?
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam people will.
They get EBT.
@@acorn-yy1giFeel like a big boy with that one?
@@Bleek7295I bet you’re a trump supporter
This may not be so funny. These could be escaped lab animals carrying any kind of disease.
These aren't escaped lab animals they have been here since 1938 and were released for a river boat tour
They carry Hep B, which can be deadly to humans
You're right these are lab rat monkeys but the government won't tell you this because it would set off a worldwide panic. And we wonder how COVID got started. 😎😎
Back in 1995 there was a movie made about a deadly disease being spread by an escaped research monkey...
@@tonyclose7892Back in the day Disney world had monkeys walking freely in animal kingdom
Florida is the Australia of the United States.
Earth is the Australia of the Milky Way.
Brazil
There are no animals like monkeys in Australia. Australia has mostly small animals. No big cats, no big K9s, no primates. The biggest land predator in Australia is the dingo. Australia naturally does not even have foxes or coyotes. Australia is pretty unexciting in terms of wildlife. In reality North and South America is where wildlife is exciting.. North America alone has the largest land predators, has more wildcats than the rest of the world combined, has the 3rd and 4th largest wildcats on the planet, which are the jaguar and cougar, the cougar which has the largest range of all predators on the planet. The wildlife in North and South America is crazier than the rest of the world. North and South America also has way more monkeys. Monkeys in the Americas are called new world monkeys. and monkeys in Africa and Asia are old world monkeys. There are more species of new world monkeys. New world monkeys are smaller. live in trees, can use their tails for holding things, have nostrils that point left and right, and are way smarter than old world monkeys. Old world monkeys have nostrils that point forward or downwards, their tails are only for balance, and some have very small tails, usually do not live in trees, are bigger than new world monkeys, not nearly as smart ass new world monkeys. New world monkeys are so smart they make and use tools. Yes righht here in North America we have the most monkeys, most big cats,, largest land predators etc. No place on Earth has the wildlife you can find in North America. Damn sure not Australia. You will find zero monkeys in Australia, zero bears, zero wildcats, and their biggest land predator weighs less than 50lbs.
Girls are hot in Florida
@@How.Dare.You_Biden Brazil isn't in the US the last time I checked.
You know there was a movie about a virus spread by monkeys 😳
There was also the accidental playing of Jumanji.. 😉
Florida would be doomed if a virus outbreak happed because they don't believe in viruses.
cant wait for the new 28 days later movie.
And h@nkeys. The small pox
There was also a virus spread by fauchi pretty recently
More people illegally owning animals they are not supposed to have. People are taking animals and using them to make $ off videos on YT and other platforms. It's cruel to the animals.
Actually there are wild ones in Florida.
UA-cam And social media people are greedy. Many not of the best quality humans.
That is not how they got here ... geez.
There has been a wild population in Florida for decades long before UA-cam
They were brought to an island in the 1930s as a tourist attraction.
😅 that's a invasive species
So are the illegals that come across the southern border.
yeah, most the local primates in Florida are invasive...

@@sgtpepperz25 id argue that is false for many reasons. first off the resident primates carry drivers licenses. Unless that was a slight at retired seniors who have moved to Florida
@@sgtpepperz25 Homo-Sapiens def is.
There are wild groups of them in the ocala forest near silver springs. They are a nuisance to locals and sometimes roam to new areas. Similar to the pythons in the everglades, the Miami iguanas, tribes of peacocks, wild parrots, and wild boars around Disney's swamps. There are critters in florida.
We have lots of tribes in Florida but they don’t consist of peacocks
They have been here in Ocklawaha and Ocala, Silver Spring for YEARS!!! 50+.
@@txladywolf01maybe they’ve been there before you Floridians moved there. Not you, but you people 😂
I don't know how you people live in the swamp with all these animals. Smh
@@omarmoran3097 beats living in a blue state with the real animals
This isn't too crazy to me, it's Florida after all.
I live near silver springs where they filmed the Tarzan movie in the 30's and you can go on the river and see them everywhere but got to be careful cause the like to throw stuff at you and try to jump on or swim to the boat or whatever you're using to try to get to food cause dumb people feed them.
lol they will throw poop on you too never understanded that one
@@keithwilson9378 Ask Amber Heard about weird poop related activities.
🎵🎶 you could be my Silver Springs..🎶🎵✨️✨️✨️
Yup I used to live there too n always imagined the monkeys eventually taking over lol
@@Ghostinthemachine47 Is that a racist comment?
Monekys in Florida. Becky used to live in India and guy with British accent. What a news story. 📰

Shortly after moving to South Georgia I saw a dead monkey on the road who had obviously been hit by a vehicle, needless to say I couldn’t believe my eyes. I asked a long time resident if there were wild monkeys in the area and she said that it was possible because many years ago the Tarzan movies were filmed in central Florida and that when they finished filming the animals were just released in the area. I don’t know if it’s true but it doesn’t seem to be out of the realm of possibilities. Has anyone else heard this?
I heard there is an island off the coast of Georgia which is privately owned and has a rather large troop of rhesus macaques there for 70+ years, possibly longer than that. Since it's privately owned the general public is not allowed to go to this island. Monkeys are excellent swimmers so it stands to reason eventually a few will make the rather long swim to the mainland. My guess that's what happened with the one you saw dead on the road. The Florida monkeys are a similar story but I do not believe the one you saw came from that far away.
Check into privately owned island off the coast of Georgia and see what you come up with
@@williamstamper442
Is that the infamous Jekyll island?
I’ve heard the story about Tarzan monkeys and also that they were brought as a tourist attraction and some escaped the island they were on. There’s a population of them in Central Florida that’s been there, according to the boat guide, for decades. But I agree with the other comment that’s it’s possible your sighted monkey came from closer. So far it seems the Fl monkeys are still central, so maybe they hadn’t really reached Georgia yet. But anything is possible 🤷
@@williamstamper442 thank you. I’ll definitely do some research.
@@williamstamper442It's the same breed, for sure.
They were introduced to sliver springs park in the 40’s as a way to expand tourism to the park . The population became out of control there and now they are expanding their territory. Only natural.
Those responsible from bringing infected Animals and allowing them to escape should be held accountable for them. Not the Animals fault there just trying to survive.
They've been there 80 years, so at this point it probably wandered there on its own.
The science says its infected chickens that is the problem !!!!
@Rachel4954 the 1932 Tarzan film was partially filmed in Florida and had monkeys in the scenes filmed in Florida. You say they been in FL for around 80 yrs, put 2 n 2 together.
@@davidterrell1242no the 1932 tarzan didn't have any monkey scenes and the monkeys were released here in 1938 by Colonel Tooey
U mean Fouchi?
These cops need to stop monkeying around and take care of business !
Monkee business
They are too busy horsing around.
leave the animals alone
Until they monkey up your yard?
No thats how you end up with escaped animals becoming invasive species like iguanas. How would you like 20000 monkeys in your backyars@@trapmuzik6708

Where’s his little red hat?
👍
That was " organ grinder monkeys" they were predominantly Capuchin monkeys.
Lost in the biolab, for anyone curious
The pigeons still have them.
only italian monkees wear those .
Does the thumbnail remind anybody else of Waco?
Yes, I had a flashback moment.
This is something to take seriously, so for goodness sake don't feed them. When food is plenty then the numbers will increase and then you have a very big problem.
I fucking hate how many invasive species we have, and its not the animals fault, its the peoples
Why people refuse to hold their phone sideways for video recording is beyond comprehension.
I mean idk why you really want to see meacock sideways, the video is fine.
I watch on a side screen device and people trying to get their 15 minutes by sending something to a TELEVISION station should know, outside the airport, people don't mount their TVs vertically on the wall.
Not to mention, ten people seem to agree with me.
@@ScottParisi you think my comment was serious 😂 💀. I just wanted to say meaCOCK.
Excuse me Spielberg get over it. It was 10 second clip.
These people have no brain how to film properly… eyes are not vertical 😂
People are spooked You should just be glad you're not having to pay a zoo admission😂😂😂
The same thing is happening in Memphis. Don't leave guns in your cars.
Watching planet of the apes yall really wanna be monkeys 😂 no culture wanna be
Florida is notorious for year-round exotics breeding. You can buy anything online. Birds, reptiles. In texas they breed capybara and kangaroo to hunt.
Wtf?,
Texas is a very cruel state. They still have rodeos there, ffs.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 even more cruel is the invasion of Colonfornians in said state.
I seen some bison farms in Texas too
Kangaroos , they belong at home , dam people... Australian
This ain't even new
A film company (I think Miramax) filmed a Tarzan movie in the 1930’s in Florida but it was before CGI and computers. So they brought in real monkeys to film the movie and they left them!.. now almost 100 years later they are still breeding and migrating. Things are going to get interesting.
🙊🙉🙈
Yea everyone for years always joked about them as no big deal atleast in my experience but I always imagined some kind of migrating deeper inland eventually. Looks like Caesar has made his move.
This isn't true the monkeys had nothing to do with tarzan a river boat tour operator Colonel Tooey released them here in 1938 for his river boat tour
They been in Florida for YEARS!!!
Is he one of the band members??
That's a baby Sasquatch
Lol, so that was the alien that was on my roof!😂
Take some to Disneyworld. Almost all the Disney deer are gone from traffic.
the poor lady who had to cover this story in the field lmao. Her eyes are like "wtf this is ridiculous"
Poor little guy. They are very social animals and he/she is looking for their troop.
Y'all laughing till they start looking like the ones in India
In CLERMONT?! WHAT?
They treat it like a joke but its seriously a problem for the ecosystem. Get adults to handle these issues.

At least the 🐒s can't swim all the way over there!
Where are the elephants?
What will it eat and how and why is it there?
What the hell?!
Got loose when the Tarzan films were being filmed in silver springs back in early to mid 1900,s they've been around Florida for years
They didn't get lose from tarzan they were released here in 1938 by Colonel Tooey for his river boat tour
@@tonyclose7892 either way they are there and have been a long time .
in central Florida!!!!, please no!!!!
The whole situation has become a zoo everyone’s backyard.
People should know the number s for Animal Control for wild animals like they know the 911 number for medical emergencies,fires,and crimes.
It really makes me wonder about Florida's ecosystem? They already have enough invasive species as it is, itll be crazy seeing monkeys in america
they been here for almost 90 yrs,
Wow i tuned in for the monkey 🐒 but ended up watching 👀 for Aimee !!!
Leave my girl aime alone, thas my bitch
Why in the world would this have anybody "spooked"?

~Count Olaf (Jim Carrey)
Not as unusual as you might think: there are at least 3 species of monkeys with established breeding populations living in Florida, all introduced some time ago. New construction/deforestation/development could've disrupted a few of them and then they wander around trying to figure out a new home.
Uh oh, Son Wukong got loose
Oh No! Outbreak movie was right! 😂
By design 🤔
Leave him alone. That's Curious George... 🙄
Grow up
I've got a lot of these things showing up in my area too. How do you make these Invasive creatures go away?
reminds me of OUTBREAK
This is very serious we don't know where they are coming from who let them loose and why. Are they carrying any viruses STOP ACTING OR REPORTING THIS AS NORMAL BECAUSE ITS NOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
They've migrated down from Chrystal River.
Tarzan silver springs
We know exactly where they came from. They've been in Silver Springs for decades.
we know where they came from. Crystal Springs. They've been there for years.
monkeys always been in Florida
Their was a spotting in fort myers fl
USUAL SUSPECT !!!!
Wow this is what happens when you have open borders. Why does that guy keep using the word spook??
.....it means to be scared/startled? Tf is your issue you weirdo.
Hope they aren't let out from labs .feel sorry for them you need to careful
Joe Biden sold us out to China
I saw some a troop on a porch in Clermont.
There was a huge open park that was filled with multiple species. Probably escaped during a storm. They aren’t a threat
You guys got Monkeys, we got Wolverines in this state.We thought they were extinct. Thank God they aren't.
First of all Those monkeys came from Sliver springs and are getting larger in population soon well see them in the Everglades interfering with Panthers , Bears , Alligator eggs and babies raccoons and oppossums and bobcats will will be the main predator for the Invasive sliver spring Asiatic Macquces
Does Fox employ their reporters on the basis/merits of Sexyness ?

A group of them robbed a package liquor store two days ago.
Lol
I was waiting for the racist comment! 😂😂
All of you people that live in Florida and don't know that there is a wild population that's been in Florida for decades, how do you actually live?
I have lived here for 40 years, have never seen a monkey and had no idea there were any here. I do not live under a rock.
Clearly you have no idea about what’s invasive or not in Florida. 🙄
Clearly you're grumpy @GrumpyMeow-Meow
It was only a matter of time. There are several communities already in Florida.
That's a baby big foot 😂
How do people get these animals into the US? They are smuggled.
They were imported legally decades ago
Have you heard of the open borders
Florida is slowly becoming a jungle. Pythons, alligators, and now monkeys. What’s next? Felines and elephants?
Florida is becoming more housing developments if they keep on destroying nature we will see something else crazy who knows
