Five years ago today, a "stylish but illegal" Rhesus Macaque wearing a shearling coat was spotted in a Toronto IKEA. 。

Fast forward to 2017. The world is in shambles, shearling coats are back in style, and IKEA monkey, whose real name is Darwin, is no less beloved. In fact, tons of people online are wishing a happy anniversary to the cozy fellow, who is currently enjoying a chill life at an Ontario animal sanctuary.

Perhaps no animal has spawned more memes than Darwin. From Photoshops to double-memes to a surprisingly potent story about a dog's butthole, IKEA monkey will live on past this year, past Darwin's lifespan, and probably past the internet.
