When Joseph DuMond, an inquisitive animal behaviorist, released six monkeys into the wilds of a dense South Florida hammock in 1933, he didn’t realize his endeavors would help shape the attitudes of many in the primatological and zoological fields.

The release fifty years ago of that small Java troop signified the beginning of the larger thriving troop that runs free at Monkey Jungle today.
