Drugs and guns are not the only thing confiscated at the border. Even exotic animals.

It's cute to see baby animals playing with toys, right? But it's more than heart-wrenching when you find out why these babies cling to these toys.

Fox 40 Sacramento reporter Sabrina Rodriguez came across her most eager interview ever when Mickey the baboon decided to show he's all hands while she did a live report from the Lodi Grope, er, Grape Festival. Oh, the perils of live TV.

Babies and monkeys, monkeys and babies ... having fun together. The Internet.

You think you know your pet, but do you *know* your pet? Would you, for example, say your guinea pig is a Betty or a Veronica? What's your iguana's opinion on repealing the Glass-Steagall Act? Most importantly, DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR FERRET'S MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TYPE????!! Is your pet ... an INTROVERT?

Listen everyone, we have the day's most adorable distraction. They're cute and hilarious and it's time for monkey GIFs, y'all!

Disney lied to us; bears and monkeys are not friends. Trigger warning/spoiler alert: This video ends very poorly for the monkey, if you get our meaning.

Humans may share DNA with monkeys, but, if this report out of Indonesia is any indication, our primate cousins couldn't care less.

In case you missed it, an adorable monkey dressed in a shearling coat made its way into a Toronto Ikea yesterday. As far as we're concerned, it's probably the greatest thing that's ever happened in an Ikea (unless you *like* watching couples fight over 99 cent flatware, you monster).

We aren't monkeying around when we say that this macaque apes Albert Einstein perfectly. Okay, now that the primate puns (and attendant alliteration) are out of the way, seriously take a look at this baby macaque. An amateur photographer and professional physicist spotted the monkey in Malaysia. We agree the similarity is uncanny.

After three years on the run, Florida's "Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay," a 40-pound wild rhesus macaque, has finally been captured. Hey, what's the big deal with a rogue monkey? After all, Florida is already home to people who call 911 because of bologna sandwiches and giant eyeballs on the beach.

APEril is a six-month-old white handed gibbon ape. Up Chuck is a middle-aged cat. They both live at the Monkey Island Rescue animal sanctuary and, as you can see in this adorable video, they are playmates.
