It seems there are a lot of TOTV'ers who are not exactly enamored by the occasional opportunities to commune with nature afforded by Central Florida living. Bugs, gators, lizards, etc. all get lots of ink here. My friend saves me NY Times Sunday magazines so I can do the puzzles. I recently came across an interesting article in the August 26 edition about a Rhesus monkey which has been living in the Tampa-St. Pete area since 2009. Official are thinking the monkey may have originally been part of a group living along the Silver River near Ocala and Silver Springs. These monkeys were released by a tour operator in the 1930's and continue to live there. If you draw a line between there and Tampa it pretty much crosses The Villages.
... So, Any monkey sightings in TV?
The monkey was recently captured and here is a link for details:
