Video of our boating trip on the Silver River and the Ocklawaha River in Ocala, Florida. The Silver River Springs are the largest artesian springs in the world. Ocala, Florida, is known as the "Horse Capital of the World" because it has more horses than any other county in the United States. On the full version of this video: https://youtu.be/np4Y2tWLSY4?si=cMFGyz7M6gNHFZe4 at minute 5:30 along the Ocklawaha River we think we heard the wild monkeys: "Yes, there are wild rhesus macaque monkeys in Silver Springs State Park in Florida: Origin - The monkeys are native to Asia and were released into the park in 1938 by a boat tour operator to attract tourists. Population - There are an estimated 400 monkeys in the park at any given time. They can be found roaming the riverbanks and trees along the Silver River. Behavior - The monkeys can be aggressive and nasty and may chase people down for long periods of time. They can also get aggressive if people try to feed them or get too close."

Did you know? Eels are masters of environmental adaptation. They are nimble #swimmers with bodies like #snakes and are adept at slipping through cracks and openings. Eels occasionally have the ability to just slide through rocks or #reefs above the surface when attempting to catch some #crabs that hang around on top of the shore's reefs. Due to their extreme laziness, adult eels stay in their reef habitat right up to reproduction. The female Moray's egg will be fertilised by the male Moray on the same reef he stays on, and when the egg hatches into a larva, the larvae are spread and carried to other areas by ocean currents. They are currently merely apathetic drifters. Before finding their own reef to settle on and develop into adults, larvae will spend months, sometimes even two years, wandering around. #Moray #eellarvae are susceptible to environmental hazards and predators. Many larvae do not survive this stage, which is one reason why moray eels produce a large number of eggs to increase the chances of some surviving. This phenomenon called Larval transport is essential for the dispersal and colonization of new areas by #morayeels. Eels will not die of hunger because eels are opportunistic eaters, their diets can include fish, insects, #crustaceans, and even smaller eels. They are just successful hunters in a variety of habitats thanks to their versatility. Do you know any other fun facts about #Eels?
