Cheeky chimp Ding Ding develops film clip habit, zoo staff worry while online observers tell visitors to respect primate’s animal rights
A zoo in eastern China has sparked laughter online after it banned visitors from asking a chimpanzee to watch short videos, citing concerns for its eyesight.
Ding Ding, a two-year-old chimpanzee at Shanghai Wildlife Park whose gender has not been disclosed, has already won many hearts with its human baby-like charm.
Viral clips show it sipping milk cross-legged, hiding shyly in its keeper’s arms, and even swiping a lotus flower to munch petal by petal.
Netizens nicknamed Ding Ding the “flower thief”, joking that the keeper should not “punish the kid”.
