Question: Which U.S. state has an island inhabited by monkeys?
Answer: South Carolina is home to one of the country’s most unusual animal colonies: more than 3,000 monkeys living on a secluded island off the Beaufort coast. Located in the St. Helena Sound, Morgan Island spans more than 2,000 acres and remains off-limits to visitors, though boat tours offer a closer look at its furry residents. Because monkeys aren’t native to the United States and typically thrive in tropical climates, the island’s massive monkey population has long sparked curiosity about how they ended up there in the first place.
