The zoo is pulling in thousands of visitors a day with a slew of attractions ranging from such typical fare as elephants, giraffes, penguins and monkeys to a high-tech natural history museum with displays showing the origins of the solar system and the evolution of life on Earth.Īnother of the most popular attractions that might come as a surprise to foreign visitors is the dog pavilion, which has everything from German shepherds to Shih Tzus. A chimpanzee has taken up smoking and spitting, according to Chinas Xinhua news agency. Jia Ku, a 20-year-old chimp who lives at a zoo in China, has a smoking habit fueled by tourists, Mirror Online reports. Chain-smoking chimp Azalea, now 25, was trained to light up and puff a staggering 40 cigarettes a day in a bid to entertain visitors to North Korea's infamous Pyongyang zoo. This isnt the only report of a smoking zoo chimp. The trainer also prompted her to touch her nose, bow thank you and do a simple dance. Visitors cheer as Azalea the Chimpanzee lights up a cigarette and begin puffing smoke. SMOKING has long been pinned as an unattractive, unhealthy trait but for one chimp it was a habit forced upon her for the sake of amusing zoo guests. Though such a sight would draw outrage in many other locales, it seemed to delight visitors who roared with laughter on Wednesday as the chimpanzee, one of two at the zoo, sat puffing away as her trainer egged her on.
