If we told you that in Florida you had a chance to be surrounded by monkeys in the only semi-natural tropical rainforest in North America, you probably would think we were out of our darn minds. However, for those of you who have been to South Florida and visited the famed Monkey Jungle, you know exactly what we mean.

Monkey Jungle is a 30-acre wildlife park in Miami, Florida established back in the 1930s.

In Monkey Jungle, it is generally not the animals that are in the enclosures, but instead, the people!

Humans are the ones walking inside the enclosures while the monkeys are fit to roam around, climbing on top of the structures to bring up bowls of treats.
