A monkey. Yes.

The Shaykh:
I did not say it to demand evidence from you; I do not know. But if he uses this monkey, because some women, may Allah protect us from that, use a monkey or a dog for fornication, if he uses it for this purpose, then it is not permissible for her to be alone with it, because it is trained; it is trained for this act. Yes.
