Morgan Island, South Carolina, USA

There are plenty of places in the world reserved solely for the animal kingdom, and South Carolina's very own Morgan Island is one of them. And it's not just any old animal that inhabits this island, no sir. This island's residents are a bunch of glorious monkeys. Thousands of Rhesus monkeys were moved from Puerto Rico to Morgan Island after viral outbreaks connected to the monkeys in the late 1970s. So now, they're isolated on this island, and no one is allowed to step foot on it.

It makes us sad to think of an island full of adorable monkeys that we can't visit. Although, since they're not conditioned to being around humans, we doubt this bunch is a friendly group.
