The Bolivian Squirrel Monkey is a small, highly social primate of South American forests that has established a small feral population in a Florida park after escapes from captivity. Wild troops of 20–75 monkeys travel through the forest canopy eating fruit and insects. The Florida population represents the only squirrel monkeys living wild outside their native South American range.
