IKEA monkey Shoppers at an Ikea store in Toronto weren't
monkeying around
when they reported a primate on the loose.
Customers spotted a monkey - clad in a pint-
sized
shearling coat - wandering around the store's
parking lot by
itself Sunday afternoon. Police say Ikea staff
lured the
primate into a corner before calling the cops,
who contacted
the city's Animal Services department.
Police Staff Sgt. Ed Dzingala says the monkey
never
made it inside the store and says its owner
later contacted
police and was reunited with the pet.
Dzingala says the monkey escaped its crate in a
parked
car and explored its surroundings before being
picked up.
The incident inspired at least two parody
Twitter
accounts which took on the persona of the
wandering monkey.

Video captures 2 black bears wrestling on Fla lawn Video captures 2 black bears wrestling on
Fla.
lawn
LONGWOOD, Fla. (AP) - A video shows two black
bears wrestling on the front lawn of a Florida
home - but residents say they don't want the
animals forced to live somewhere else.
In the video, the bears appear to be play-
fighting on the ground and later while standing
up. The fight spills over into nearby bushes
and ends about two minutes later with both
bears leaving in separate directions.
The bears were on Tammy Snell's lawn. The
Longwood resident says bears are part of the
scenery for the area. She told the Orlando
Sentinel (http://sunsent.nl/Nz2kbA) that
residents don't want to relocate the bears. As
she put it: "We moved into their area. It's
really like living in a zoo."

WASHINGTON - It's a scene that could've come
straight out of the classic children's book
"Are You My Mother?"
In a video clip aptly titled "Duck Run" and
uploaded to YouTube by user matizhan, Charley
the duck appears to have quite the attraction
to a person with a camera focused on capturing
the duck's antics.
What could be the world's cutest game of
follow-the-leader ensues. Particularly watch as
Charley takes a couple of sprints toward the
end to catch up with his friend, with wings
flapping furiously.
