Great photos, like all that you post , thank you!

Regarding the thread title, a little humor at your expense (sorry)

If there are more than one, they would be monkeys

If they sang, they would be Monkees

No idea what monkies are

Nice pictures

I never knew that monkeys were in the wild in Florida until we encountered quite a few of them at the 'park and fly' lot for the Fort Lauderdale airport when we lived down there....

they built the lot in a area where the monkeys had lived forever (well, since they escaped)....and the monkeys decided that they weren't about to be relocated. They were harmless, but when twenty of thirty of them come walking down the lane you parked you car in while you're waiting for the transport bus to come around and they start climbing all over your luggage fiddling with the locks and walking all over your car it was a little too much for my wife to feel comfortable about

I will resist the temptation to throw a monkey wrench into this or further monkey around with it in any way.

What a set of canines on the yawning one. Ouch!
