For this episode I went down to Silver River. This place is awesome! and easily one of my favorite places in the state. This is a slow moving crystal clear river that goes through a forest of ancient trees. The river is teaming with life from every type of fish to wading birds and there's hardly a log without a basking turtle. Everywhere you look there is some kind of animal and the diversity is amazing! As you paddle up the river looking at all the animals, all of a sudden something in the trees will catch your eye and you'll second guess what you're seeing. You quickly realize that there are many of what caught your eye. An entire troop of rhesus macaques is foraging along the river. They're not real skittish as they're used to being fed by boaters. This location is pretty easily accessed so if you want to go you can do it! You can hire guided tours or just rent or bring your own kayak, or any kind of boat for that matter. Anyway, check out the video below and learn all about these monkeys!
