Florida's Nonnative Wildlife. Species detail.

Two troops of well over 120 animals live in Broward County near Dania. Founded in the 1950s and 1970s by releases from a tourist attraction. They are the most omnivorous of all primates. They can feed on the ground or in trees and are very opportunistic feeders.
