Millionaire wants his poker monkey back
A Canadian businessman is suing the Alberta government for the return of his poker-playing monkey.
Wildlife officials seized Tarzan the macaque monkey and three other exotic pets during a 2001 raid at a ranch owned Calgary multimillionaire Phil Sprung. Tarzan and Jane, another macaque, were sent to a wildlife park in Ontario.
A female moose named Murray now lives at Calgary Zoo, but Rascal the raccoon has since died. Now Mr Sprung, from Okotoks, Alberta, wants his pets back and has filed a £250,000 lawsuit, reports the Canoe website. —Ananova
