Thanks to Alex of Weed Week for bringing me up to date with something positive this week
The East Bay’s foremost zoological center is rehabilitating a confiscated spider monkey that’s taken the internet’s heart — and the primate now has a name, too.
A young spider monkey was discovered by police when Maldera County police pulled over a speeding Rolls Royce on December 30th. The viral primate—which has since been cheekily nicknamed the “Rolls Royce monkey” by the internet—was transferred to the Oakland Zoo the following day; the driver was arrested on-site for a suspected DUI and possession of a large amount of cannabis.
