Monkeys in Florida at-Risk of Electrocution

In the shadow of the Ft. Lauderdale airport lives a troop of monkeys. These are vervet monkeys, and they are not native to Florida. They’re descendants of a group of African monkeys that escaped from a lab about 80 years ago. Missy Williams is a biologist who founded the Dania Beach Vervet Project, in hopes of caring for this out-of-place population. Some of the monkeys have been hit by vehicles, and Williams says the climbing primates are at a risk of electrocution from power lines.
