Five years ago today, a "stylish but illegal" Rhesus Macaque wearing a shearling coat was spotted (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/stylish-but-illegal-monkey-found-roaming-toronto-ikea/article6140276/) in a Toronto IKEA.*
Fast forward to 2017. The world is in shambles, shearling coats are back in style, and IKEA monkey (http://mashable.com/2012/12/10/lost-ikea-monkey/), whose real name is Darwin, is no less beloved. In fact, tons of people online (https://twitter.com/search?q=ikea%20monkey%20anniversary&src=typd) are wishing a happy anniversary to the cozy fellow, who is currently enjoying a chill life at an Ontario animal sanctuary.
