Officials warned the residents of Orange City, Florida, about 30 miles north of Orlando, to be on alert after a number of sightings of wild monkeys came into the police department Tuesday, NBC News reports. The sightings happened over a relatively short period of time, and officials still cannot confirm if they involve one creature or a group of monkeys.
One monkey, believed to be a Rhesus macaque, a species from Asia, was spotted at a local Popeye’s Wednesday; police did not specify if it was seen in the restaurant or the drive-thru. Animal control authorities warn people to stay away from the monkeys as they can be aggressive; monkeys are warned to stay away from Floridians as they can be… well… Floridians. They also note it’s against the law: Feeding wild monkeys in Florida is a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
