South Carolina[edit]

I added a bit on Monkey Island SC after reading a news article that confirmed the "myth" that an uninhabitated island on the coast was full of monkeys. I'm still trying to find the exact location, and when I do, I'll update the page to show where it is.Eganjt (talk) 14:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of google'ing and I think the exact location is Morgan Island, SC. I found a College of Charleston page with an article along the lines of "Free range Rhesus Monkey Colony on Morgan Island" and another page that appears to be from a laboratory. The news stations refused to disclose the location of the island, but I'm going to bet no one's dumb enough to actually try to go there. You will go to jail for tresspassing on federal property.Eganjt (talk) 15:21, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monkey island is located just off the St. Helena sound on an island known as Morgan island. I have personally been there and can attest to the monkeys living on the island. I have seen research assistants on the island but I have never dared to get off and walk on the island. You are permitted to drive up by boat and you can typically see 10-15 monkeys. I have seen upwards of 150 monkeys at a time or a few as none. The island is beautiful and the towering trees seem to be a perfect fit for the monkeys. It is as if the island was created with the intent to provide a natural home for it's inhabitants. From what I understand the monkeys have been there since the mid 70's as the government had leased this island from a private individual for years before the government purchased the island in 2003 or 2004. 74.223.132.66 (talk) 13:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)edistojosh@msn.com[reply]
