Chinese zoo probes chimpanzee smoking cigarette video

A zoo in China is investigating after a video showed a chimpanzee smoking a discarded cigarette butt. The footage, posted on March 11, has gone viral, prompting Nanning Zoo to confirm it is looking into the incident. The zoo will determine if a visitor intentionally threw the cigarette into the chimpanzee's enclosure. They plan to enhance safety measures and educate visitors about proper behavior around animals. This incident is not isolated; other zoos have reported similar occurrences with monkeys smoking. A gorilla in Xinjiang has been filmed smoking, and a chimpanzee was previously seen smoking in Anhui province.
