Numerous Florida residents in the Clermont and Groveland areas say they keep seeing monkeys roaming their neighborhoods.

Clermont resident Aime Krug told Fox 35 she spotted one of the animals Tuesday on the roof of a house on Minnehaha Avenue and was shocked at the sight of it, the outlet reported Thursday:

“This monkey went across the road, and I had to do a double take because I didn’t think that it was actually a monkey,” she recalled, noting that because she lived in India for several years, monkeys do not frighten her.

Florida has too many pythons also. Do monkeys eat pythons? Or do pythons eat monkeys?

That was my favorite Fla vacation spot. It was such a fun place!...and yes, I saw the monkeys. I saw my 1st Kodiak bear there. They are huge...and I loved feeding the giraffes and cruising in the glass bottomed boats. Great memories! I think it’s just a state camping place now and no one wants to deal with the herpes monkeys anyway...sigh

When I was a kid, we went to Silver Springs on field trips when I was in elementary school. Across the street there was an attraction called Six Gun Territory, it was like an old west cowboy town where they staged mock shootouts, etc.

I went to Monkey Jungle as a kid living in Florida during the early 60’s.

Yes it was a big tourist attraction. I think we went there once when I was a kid.
