The elusive monkey that has become a media sensation has been sighted once again, this time in St. Petersburg, and the video images of the wily simian are better than ever.
Rick Coffey spotted the rhesus macaque Saturday outside his home on Serpentine Drive in St. Petersburg.
Authorities don't know where the monkey came from, but some think it could have gotten separated from a troupe in a state park near Ocala. That's about 118 miles north of St. Petersburg.
Last month, it was seen at a different home swinging from a tree, falling into a pool and stealing grapefruits from a woman's back yard.
The monkey is so popular it even has a Facebook page with more than 68,000 fans.
At one of its sightings, wildlife trapper Vernon Yates popped the monkey twice with tranquilizer darts, but both times the animal managed to shrug off the sedatives and escape.
