Animals·Posted on Dec 10, 2012Everything You Need To Know About The Ikea MonkeyMONKEA GATE 2012.by Lauren YapalaterBuzzFeed StaffLinkFacebookPinterestTwitterMail Last night, news spread that there was a monkey roaming around an Ikea in Toronto, Canada. Not just any monkey, though. A super-stylish monkey wearing THIS SEASON'S shearling coat. The unnamed monkey is 7 months old, and no one was really sure how it got there. Or why it was wearing such a great coat. But it looked adorable and was walking around the parking lot. This girl SAW THE MONKEY. Then some other girl was all, "Did anyone lose their monkey at Ikea?" And a meme was born.
