Squad Of Monkeys Call A Florida Airport Home (Video)

Out of all the animals in the animal kingdom, monkeys are our closest ancestors. There are many more similarities than differences between humans and monkeys, and that's something that makes them extra adorable to us. Let's move away from the domesticity of cats and dogs, and take a walk on the wild side with none other than some crazy fun monkeys. As cute as monkeys seem, they're actually really tough, adept, and equipped to handle the jungle. Did you know that at a local Florida airport, there is a squad of monkeys that call the place home? Neither did we. Let's learn more. 

"There's a lot of monkeying around happening in Dania Beach, Florida. Non-native monkeys have made the area home, and visitors get to enjoy these adorable local celebrities. They've lived in a preserve next to Fort Lauderdale's international airport since 1940. Usually, Florida wildlife officials kill invasive species to protect native animals, but they tolerate the vervet. And the Dania Beach Vervet Project is working hard to keep them safe."
