Animal antics

A Starbucks employee in Mobile, Alabama, had to have stitches and rabies vaccinations on Jan. 10 after a pet Aotus monkey jumped out of a car at the drive-thru window and into the restaurant, according to Lagniappe Daily. The monkey ran up the employee’s arm to her head and started biting her until a co-worker grabbed it and threw it back out of the window. A Mobile Police Department spokesman said the monkey’s owner, Tammy Elaine Gardner, drove away before police arrived. She could fact charges, police said.
