OLDSMAR, Fla., Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Florida wildlife officials said a loose monkey spotted last week in Hillsborough County appears to have jumped the border to Pinellas County.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said a monkey, believed to be a member of the macaque family, was spotted Monday at Boot Ranch Apartments in Oldsmar, three days after the final sighting of a similar primate in Hillsborough County, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Monday.
Gary Morse, spokesman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said a map of the monkey sightings appears to depict a diagonal path headed for the Gulf of Mexico.
"It wouldn't surprise me if it was the same one, and in fact I suspect it would be. Those animals can get around pretty fast," Morse said. "How many monkeys have you seen in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties?"
