there is a clearly a territorial dispute
happening right now and up and now
there's your course what is going on
internet you just hop inside of Florence
the ma'am balance and we are cruising
through the center of Florida right now
on our way to silver River looking for
monkeys in Florida Florida is known for
its biodiversity but this has to be one
of the more interesting animals to live
in this state so we're going to go see
if we can tell their story it's going to
be an interesting one
[Music]
big surprise for you guys first time
we're seeing are you ready
Ryan show the people what they've been
waiting for we're not even an hour into
this trip and it looks like a young
female beautifully profile this is
mind-blowing monkeys in Florida less
this and more me filming because that's
I don't know how long she's in the post
for us
when you get an entire monkey truth
together that's when the intensity picks
up there is in you're clearly a
territorial dispute happening right now
or one of those younger males stole
another chick and it's saying everybody
doing a frenzy
everybody just lost their mind there's a
bunch of branches sticks leaves falling
down and up and now there's intercourse
right so that's settled all the fighting
was about to some good old-fashioned
fornication about a monkey was gonna die
no monkey just wanted to you know do
what monkeys do and go to pound town so
I'm finding out that almost every fight
is about mating rights rhesus macaque
SAR naturally promiscuous but the alpha
male
he wants all the females to himself
when he shows up he's enraged he's
looking to take his aggression out on
one of the other monkeys and that sends
all of them
their only escape route is across the
river if they don't stick the landing
it's a 60 football and this sends
everyone into a leap of faith
oh my gosh alright this is the spot is
fire right now
monkeys can make jumping from branch to
branch look easy but not everyone sticks
the landing
[Music]
all the commotion attracts the largest
predator in the river
[Applause]
[Music]
with an angry email behind her and
Gators below her
the stakes are raised for this mom she
has to land this jump with her baby
clinging to her side
[Music]
his mother's only job is to protect her
baby so with all dangers now averted
they can get back to doing what they do
best
[Music]
students that everything I like that
little baby just went up to the water
get this headed
I don't know that anything strikes the
all court as much as a baby monkey these
things are obviously the cutest things
in the world if anybody disagrees with
that what you're just wrong it's crazy
to me that I like 45 minutes away from
this ecosystem and i'm just now
exploring it for the first time
oh my gosh remember that scene a
notebook
the one where he tells her to get in the
water I could really use ryan gosling
right now
oh baby get you some of that
southard also good old down the Bayou
back like natural fun you don't even
have to take your clothes off
I'm tamed monkey
