The Unique Florida Spring That’s Home To Hundreds Of Monkeys
You might expect to see this somewhere close to the Amazon. Perhaps on the outskirts of a resort in a tropical rainforest. But not usually in Florida, unless of course in an enclosure of sorts. However, in this stunning and magical spring, there are hundreds of monkeys who have taken over parts of the area, making this secluded spot in Florida their home.
Silver Springs State Park in Florida is one of the most spectacular places in the state.
It is not at all uncommon for visitors to the park to be paddling their way down the spring and see monkeys randomly lunching on logs or dipping their fingers in the water.
