Do you Upstaters know about Monkey Island near Beaufort?


Sep 23, 2020, 8:08 AM

The small island has about 4,000 monkeys in the wild.

I live in Bluffton. The best times to see the monkeys is early in the morning or later in the afternoon. My kids love going over there.

There's a large colony on an island in the Crystal River near Silver Springs. Left over from the Tarzan movies. Has there ever been a jungle type movie made in that area?

Speaking of monkeys.. do you think the rest of the US

Knows about chicken monkey island ?

It is located in the middle of south carolina near the mergers of highways 26, 20, and 77.

They share many traits with other monkeys. For examole they have no social inhibitions preventing them from fornicating in public areas. They also seem to scramble quickly in the presence of Tigers.

The chicken monkey has evolved due to their dumpster like habitat and developed interesting behaviors.

Most monkeys throw their feces when they are upset. The chicken monkey throws batteries and water bottles.

Most monkeys make howling noises but the chicken monkey makes a sound that can only be described as a chicken being thrown into a deep fat fryer.


Many scientists have studied this sub species and all seem to come up with the same conclusion, "they're just plain stupid."

Most people don't realize there are wild monkeys down in South Florida either. They are down by the airport in Ft Lauderdale. I have seen them on a few occasions in the early morning. At one point they tried to kill them, but people freaked out and so now they just run wild. Look them up. Wild Monkeys Fr Lauderdale

Local legend has it that 50+ years ago a couple was


Sep 23, 2020, 9:05 AM

anchored just off the bank of Monkey Island with their small child. A group of monkeys, lured by bananas in the couple's picnic lunch (PSA don't take a banana on a boat it's bad luck), used overhead branches to jump into the boat and steal the infant. A frantic search ensued, 2 maybe 3 hrs, but the child was never found and the authorities gave up. Fast forward 15 years later when an older teen was found wandering out of the marsh near Lucy Creek...yep it was the long lost child.

Who was the child you ask?...

You guessed it...the coots very own Will Mustchimp
