99-Year-Old Woman Wakes Up To Exotic Animal On Her Chest
MIAMI -- A 99-year-old woman in Miami-Dade woke up to quite the surprise on Tuesday -- an exotic animal sleeping on her chest.
CBS Miami reports that the animal is usually found in the rain forests of Central and South America, but somehow made its way into a southwest Miami-Dade home.
The animal is a kinkajou, which looks like a monkey, but is actually in the raccoon family.
"The lady is sound asleep and she feels something on her chest and she slowly wakes up, and realizes that there's an animal curled up sleeping on her chest," said veterinarian Don Harris to CBS Miami. "I don't know, I guess her first impression was it might be a cat, but when they both got a look at each other, they both freaked out. The lady screamed, the kinkajou went into her attic."
