The troop of rhesus macaques were brought to Central Florida in the 1930s as part of a long-since closed attraction in the park. They were placed on a small island, but the monkeys didn’t stay there.

There have been monkey sightings all over Central Florida, including one caught on camera in 2015 when students spotted a rhesus macaque running around on the roof of their school in Lake County.

The monkeys carry a herpes virus that is deadly to humans and can be spread through a bite or scratch.

“People should never approach these animals,” said University of Florida professor Steve Johnson, who was part of a team that spent years studying the monkeys. “People shouldn’t feed them. It’s not legal to feed them anymore.”

Florida's herpes-infected monkey population is booming and it could have fatal consequences

Silver springs? That's in the sticks.

Don't worry. White people have never really needed a reason to kill stuff and now they have a legit one.

It’s ok. Just ignore them like the other invasive species in Florida like pythons, monitor lizards, and giant snails.

Not to mention the giant flying cockroaches, lizards, frogs, alligators, armadillos, snakes and brain-eating amoebas.
