A baby spider monkey that was seized during a traffic stop along a Central California highway earlier this week is now in the care of the Oakland Zoo. California Highway Patrol said the animal was discovered after Madera-area officers pulled over a Rolls Royce on northbound Highway 99.

The California Highway Patrol had one of its more bizarre traffic stops near the close of 2024 as officers in the Central Valley pulled over a Rolls Royce with a baby monkey in a onesie as a passenger.
