NEW YORK -- A monkey was spotted climbing around inside a tow truck Sunday in the Bronx. 

Video posted online shows the 3-year-old spider monkey, apparently named Ticky, on Tremont Avenue. 

She can be seen wearing a diaper and hopping around inside the truck before she climbs over to the window and hangs out.
