They're a pack of outlaws without a cause. Locals know when they're on the gang's turf and when to pay homage with gifts and offerings, but no one knew for sure where they came from or how they came to drive the city bananas for so many years. Now, after years of study, a group of researchers have confirmed the origins of the notorious Dania Beach monkeys and have some idea of the pack's future.
Not far from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, in a forest of mangroves surrounded by parking lots and industrial buildings, lives a community of African green monkeys, or vervets, that has been monkeying around Dania Beach for the better part of 70 years.
