Never mind those drone sightings in the northeast: People in one Florida city swear monkeys are staring back at them when they look out the window.

It's happening in Orange City, and police are worried some citizens might start getting chummy with the unpredictable primates.

"Do not feed or approach these animals!" police wrote in a Dec. 11 Facebook post.

"The Orange City Police Department has received multiple reports of monkey sightings within the city. If you encounter a monkey, please contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) for assistance."

Police didn't say how many people have called, and did not offer theories on where the monkey -- or monkeys -- originated.

Photos shared by police on social media show someone saw one of the monkeys atop their fence, and it appeared to be about the size of a toddler.

Wild monkeys are not native to Florida and are considered a threat to "native wildlife, ecosystems and agriculture," state officials said. Feeding wild monkeys is illegal under state law.

"They can also carry diseases that can potentially be spread to humans to include rabies and herpes B. If you encounter wild monkeys in Florida, it is important to keep a safe distance and never feed wild monkeys," the FWC reports.

The town's alert has elicited a mix of jokes and threats on social media, including from some people who vowed to treat the monkeys like the state's invasive iguanas and pythons: "Shoot on sight."

"Life will never be the same again. We have monkeys on the loose, drones on the loose ... The only one not on the loose is PDiddy. ... How much more are we going to have to deal with? Cindy Due Iles wrote.

Wild monkeys, including rhesus macaques, are not native to Florida "and may have negative impacts on native wildlife, ecosystems and agriculture," the FWC says.

"They can also carry diseases that can potentially be spread to humans to include rabies and herpes B. If you encounter wild monkeys in Florida, it is important to keep a safe distance and never feed wild monkeys," the FWC says

"To help prevent injuries and spread of disease to people, feeding wild monkeys is illegal in Florida (Rule 68A-4.001). Members of the public can report monkeys approaching people and acting aggressively to the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922)."
