It\u2019s Raining Monkeys in Florida<\/h3>\n

make oneself at home<\/strong>: to make oneself relaxed and comfortable in a new place<\/p>\n

A quiet kayak trip in Florida quickly turned into a wild show. As a woman paddled through Silver Springs, Florida she suddenly saw monkeys flying through the air and splashing into the water. Laughing in surprise, she shouted, \u201cIt\u2019s raining monkeys!\u201d<\/p>\n

These monkeys are rhesus macaques, a species not native to Florida. They were brought to the area in the 1930s by a tour boat operator who wanted to make his jungle rides more exciting. Since then, the monkeys have made themselves at home<\/strong> in Florida.<\/p>\n

Over the years, their numbers have grown, and they have learned to live in the Florida climate. A short video of the \u201craining monkeys\u201d has been shared thousands of times online, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Florida has seen many strange things, but few sights are as unforgettable as monkeys falling from the sky.<\/p>\n

Sample sentences<\/h5>\n

It took Maria a few weeks to make herself at home<\/strong> after moving to a new city.<\/p>\n

Our new puppy quickly made itself at home<\/strong> and started sleeping on the couch.<\/p>\n

My grandparents always tell visitors to make themselves at home<\/strong> when they arrive.<\/p>\n
