(The Hill) – Wild monkeys have been spotted in Orange City, Fla., sparking warnings from local officials to stay away from the on-the-loose primates.
Orange City police warned residents not to feed a wild rhesus monkey seen in the town, about 30 miles north of Orlando.
The monkeys can cause outbreaks of E. coli and herpes and devastate quail and other bird populations by eating eggs, according to a publication from the University of Florida.
