Why dont we have monkeys in our forests and swamps. That would be pretty cool.

We almost had hippos in the swamps. In the early 1900s.. I think thats when it was, they were going to bring them in to help with some problem.. What if it happened and the swamps were filled with alligators and hippos?

Clear swamp vegetation and act as a meat source.

I know a lady who bought a couple monkeys and used them to justify billing Medicaid for children’s therapy. She made millions doing it and then used the money to buy a herd of buffalo in Independence, Louisiana. …a herd of F’ing buffalo!

That’s all I got.

I bet you can get a lot of meat from one hippo.

Probably, but I’m not sure it would be worth it. Mean Motherfrickers

It gets too cold too often up here. One bad winter would kill them all. Monkeys need year round food sources, they don’t have adaptations like food hoarding or hibernation to survive a winter.


Once they were killed off, there are lots of geographic barriers to keep monkeys from South America from moving north.

Couple of reasons. They did migrate, but can't handle cold climates. That kept them from coming into NA.
