HOTS Monkey Matter… Sheriff's deputies in Jefferson County, Missouri, recently came to the rescue of a spider monkey wearing a pink tutu near a busy highway. The office said on social media that deputies responded to the area of Highways 21 and M on “reports of a subject monkeying around.” Public Safety Information Coordinator Grant Bissell said the monkey approached one of the deputies who is a K9 handler, UPI reported. “The monkey actually kind of came up and tugged on his pant leg, and so he didn't really know what to do. He squatted down and was trying to offer some sort of safety. And he said the monkey reached out and grabbed his hands, and he said, 'OK, I guess we'll just stand here together until we figure out what to do,’” Bissell told KTVI-TV. HOTS knows some Tchaikovsky devotee is already penning the simian companion to Swan Lake: Monkey Pond.
