A young spider monkey that was caught during a traffic stop Monday has now landed safely at the Oakland Zoo, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The female spider monkey was discovered by CHP after officers stopped a driver who they said was speeding. The traffic stop occurred on State Route 99 and the driver was in a Rolls Royce Ghost.

According to officers, the driver appeared to be under the influence of alcohol when they pulled him over. According to the CHP, officers found marijuana in the vehicle and a small surprise: a young spider monkey.

Animal Control responded to the scene and cared for the spider monkey, which is illegal to own as a pet in California, CHP said.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife eventually took possession of the spider monkey and brought it to the Oakland Zoo for proper care.

The driver was held in the Madera County Jail and faces charges of possession of marijuana for sale and possession of an exotic animal.

According to the Oakland Zoo, the spider monkey is estimated to be 5 to 6 months old. She arrived with an upper respiratory tract infection and is being treated in intensive care.

The lucky little lady will soon receive a new name to honor her species, zoo officials said. The zoo also shared details about the inhumane trade in exotic animals, such as:

“Primate children, like spider monkeys, are poached for the exotic pet trade, with most not surviving their first year of life due to poor care. Mothers are often killed to get access to the infants, who often die during transport. The high demand for exotic pets is driving this illegal trade causing suffering for millions of animals. Be an informed consumer and think twice before purchasing an exotic pet. -Oakland Zoo
