Hey - Ya'll stop slapping your monkey

Because they got the herpes...roaming monkeys in Silver Springs that is. No word on whether they have the gunira.

Why does Florida let these invasive species just go unchecked. Put a bounty on them and shoot them.

How many guys are going to try the "I must've gotten herpes at Silver Springs" excuse?

The koala is unique to Australia and is an important symbol of the country. But numbers are plummeting and the survival of koalas is under threat. One of the reasons is the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia.

One of the most common places to find koalas in Australia these days is in the hospital...

I read about this a couple of days ago. I had no idea that there were wild monkeys in Florida, and that they'd been there since the 1930s. I'm amazed that even "back in the olden days", someone thought it was a good, marketable idea to intentionally introduce new species of animals into Florida.

All you need are the Chinese Walking Snakeheads to finally hitchhike their way to Florida and team up with the man-eating super-snakes and the Outbreak monkeys, and you're doomed!

Monkeys escaped the old Tarzan movie productions and have lived in FL ever since.

It's a good thing they didn't film Jurassic Park in Florida - there'd be velociraptors running around all over the Everglades!

I continue to be disappointed by monkeys.

I thought snakeheads were already here? I'd like to see all the freshwater ponds, lakes and rivers populated with piranha...
