In South Florida, a group of animals has been living in the area for many years. These creatures reside in mangroves and have been a presence for nearly 80 years. They originally escaped from a lab and zoo.

A local resident has had many encounters with them. Some people are now considering whether these animals should be viewed differently by the state. Further details about this effort are available from local sources, including information about a sanctuary and the potential impact of reclassifying these animals.
