Wild Monkey at Silver Springs
 

Wild Monkey high in a tree at Silver Springs State Park.

Wow, awesome picture!

Are there many of these monkeys (rhesus macaques?) in the Silver Springs SP, and are they hard to spot?

Wonder if there are any here?

Great picture, he looks like he's posing for you

I remember seeing lots of monkeys at Gibraltar. They would jump on anyone with a candy bar or food. I really like animals but monkeys, IMO, are creepy.

Florida Silver River monkeys: Animals brought for tourism carry herpes

There are approximately 400......rampant with herpes.

Got into a brawl with one of those monkeys he was trying to steal my hat and decided I needed it more than him

I heard a story some time ago that they had been seen in yards along 42 in the north of the villages.
I have certainly seen lots when taking my boat up the Oklawaha and Silver River.
I also heard that they were left behind after the filming of Tarzan with Johnny Weismuller in the 1930's - you hear a lot of these stories but it's difficult to know which of them to believe.

Any video?:popcorn:

So aren’t some people...

Silver Springs State Park is home to 1000’s of monkeys. If you go kayaking, you’ll be able to see 100’s in the trees by the river.

Beautiful shot!

So cool! Thanks for sharing that awesome pic!

The first time I took the boat ride in Silver Springs, that when they took you deep into the river I saw one myself and heard the same Tarzan story.

Two-three years ago police were in our Hacienda neighborhood warning residents that a monkey was in a nearby tree and not to approach him.
