Monkey Jungle. This is situated in southern Miami-Dade County. It is indeed a truly magnificent and unique park where homo sapiens are freely walking through securely built wire pathways. While many species of other primates are scampering above where they are and happily swinging through the tree branches with each other. Based on the Florida information site, the Monkey Jungle started in 1935 when Joseph DuMonds and his wife brought the first six monkeys in this 10-acre land and actually observed them if they are living in their natural habitat. In their desire to do this, they preferred Florida because of its climate and ecology characterized to resemble those of their native home in Southeast Asia. Today, this park is still managed by the son of the DuMonds. This environment has led to the research and observation of monkeys and other breakthroughs on primate behavior.
