A monkey spotted multiple times around central Florida is believed to be the same one on the loose.
"I looked at her and she looked at me and I just said, 'did you just see that,'" said Tom Cooley, a driver who called deputies after catching sight of a monkey while traveling along State Road 436 Friday.
"It was pretty surreal," Cooley said to our television news partner, Eyewitness News Channel 9.
The monkey was about 4-feet tall and seemed to look both ways before crossing the road, Cooley said.

Someone snapped a photo of the simian scamp and shared it on social media.
He also said the animal looked similar to another monkey spotted in Debary, just a week before. The sightings are moving southeast through Sanford, according to Eyewitness News Channel 9. When deputies arrived at the scene Friday the monkey was gone.
It is not the same monkey that was loose in Sanford earlier this week. There, a resident's pet monkey named Zeke got loose for a few hours, chewed up some mail and damaged a police cruiser before jumping into his owner's arms and being put back in his enclosure, according to Eyewitness News Channel 9.
