There is more than one thing to do and one place to go in or around Miami Florida, but there is definitely only one place called Monkey Jungle. This amazing establishment is incredibly entertaining, engaging, fun and educational. It is a one of a kind monkey encounter and leaves many guests with an entirely knew perspective on non-human primates. The company logo states that this is the place where the humans are cages and the monkeys run free. This of course is in reference to maintaining safety standards because it is true that these monkeys are free. Many of the guests who stay in one of the hotels Miami Florida enjoy a trip to Monkey Jungle as part of their visit.

The jungle began in 1933 when animal behaviorist Joseph DuMond set free six monkeys out into the South Florida hammock. The original intention was simply to study their adaptive behavior patterns and that event has grown and transitioned into three generations worth of the Java Troup. The jungle has helped to evolve zoological perspectives on facility development, structure and design. It remains to be one of the few existing protected habitats for endangered species and it is also the only one that allows the general public to explore it.

The Java monkeys are incredibly interesting to watch and many of the visitors are impressed with the diving and fishing skills. There are scheduled feedings along the riverbanks and mangrove swamps that demonstrate the water skills of these monkeys and the spectators love to watch them as they dive into the water and retrieve fresh fruit. Another feature of Monkey Jungle is the promotion of awareness of and appreciation for some of the species. During their visit the audience is introduces to the orangutans and gets an inside view of their natural daily lifestyle. Most people walk away surprised by and impressed with their spontaneous antics. Monkey Jungle his home to a total of thirty species and works hard to protect and conserve endangered species such as the Golden Lion Tamarin, which is native to the jungles of Brazil.
