Five years ago today, a "stylish but illegal" Rhesus Macaque wearing a shearling coat was spotted in a Toronto IKEA. 。
Fast forward to 2017. The world is in shambles, shearling coats are back in style, and IKEA monkey, whose real name is Darwin, is no less beloved. In fact, tons of people online are wishing a happy anniversary to the cozy fellow, who is currently enjoying a chill life at an Ontario animal sanctuary. 。

Thanks for signing up! 。
In fact, when net neutrality is gone and I throw my computer and phone into the ocean, I will hang a picture of the IKEA monkey in my home to preserve our memories. 。And it moves us all.Credit: Tumblr/haventhadenough。
