Darwin the Monkey Goes Shopping at Ikea
Over the weekend, shoppers at an Ikea in northeastern Toronto were greeted with a rather strange customer: a small rhesus macaque monkey wearing what looks to be a ridiculously comfy winter coat. While his owner was shopping, the monkey, named Darwin, unlocked his own cage, hopped out of the car and decided to do some exploring. After being found derping around the front of the store, Darwin was turned in to customer services and is now in the care of Toronto city officials. His owner was fined $200.00 for owning an illegal exotic pet.
Since his adventure, Darwin has been appropriately meme-ified. And to think, he just wanted a new coffee table!
