II Zw 33 is a gas-rich Wolf-Rayet galaxy with a low surface-brightness companion galaxy. Neither II Zw 33 nor its companion need any dark matter in order to explain the observed rotation curves. The available observations support a scenario in which the companion has triggered the current burst of star formation in II Zw 33.
