musings a go go

More pictures from Silver Springs. Did you know that Florida is the only state that has a monkey population? Over one hundred years ago, a man populated an island near Silver Springs with hundreds of rhesus monkeys. Of course, these monkeys are some of the few that can swim so they repopulated themselves around the state and from North Florida all the way down to Central Florida you can find the random rhesus monkey in the woods. Here is a picture of one.
