This Christmas season, Orange County, Florida is being visited by a special guest: monkeys. The Orange County Police in Florida on December 16 issued a warning to the public after receiving reports about multiple sightings of monkeys in the area.
According to reports, though this is not the first time monkeys were spotted in Florida, it is not very common to see monkeys in Orange County, which is why the sightings are arousing curiosity and concern among the public. Here are some key witnesses of the Florida Monkey sightings.
Fox 35, reports the words of Ines, who runs St. Johns River Eco Tours, one of the witnesses of Florida Monkey sightings,
“It caught me completely off guard, not something you see in Orange City every day.”
Innes further expanded to WKMG about his first meeting with a monkey,
“I looked up into a tree and kind of went, ‘What’s that!?’. I got a little bit closer and realized that I had a monkey probably about 30 feet from me. And trust me, that’s not something you see out here on a regular basis whatsoever, so I was shocked”
