Cedar Knolls, New Jersey: The Jungle of the Temperate Zone

A freelancer stared out our office window at the bleak, damp, chilly autumn landscape. You can see the intersection of I-287 and Route 10. In the foreground, there are six straggly trees in a patch of dirt. Did I mention this is New Jersey?

"Omigod! There is a monkey in that tree over there!"

Long pause.

"Ohhhhh," she said. "It's not a monkey...."

"It's a marmot."
