Well-dressed monkey in a winter coat and diaper escapes car and heads to Ikea
Warm and dry: The monkey that visited Ikea was wearing a thick winter coat and a diaper

An unaccompanied monkey wearing a stylish winter coat and a diaper surprised Sunday shoppers at a Toronto Ikea.

The fashionable rhesus macaque, sporting a miniature shearling jacket, was first spotted in the parking lot, before roaming around and eventually being coered inside the store.

Police believe that the pet had been in a car before escaping from both a crate and the vehicle to look around Ikea. Canadian police said: 'It's a smart monkey.'
