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:

I thought I saw some monkey's and then realized it was just my wife's relatives visiting
