A 19-year-old female chimpanzee whose name is Dallae from North Korea has become an over-night celebrity for smoking 20 cigarettes daily, as photos of the old ape which emerged online recently, have gone viral.
According to officials at the Pyongyang’s newly opened zoo which has become a favourite leisure spot in the North Korean capital since it re-opened in July, Azalea, the smoking chimpanzee, reportedly smokes about a pack of cigarettes a day.
Azalea has been trained to light the cigarettes herself
The zoo's management insist the chimp, doesn’t inhale, and that when thrown a lighter by he trainer, the chimpanzee knows how to light her own cigarettes.
It added that if a lighter isn’t available, she has also been taught how to light up from a lit cigarette if one is tossed her way.
Azalea is 19 years old
According to Metro UK, the Pyongyang zoo pulls in thousands of visitors a day with attractions such as elephants, giraffes, penguins and monkeys.
It also boasts a high-tech natural history museum with displays showing the origins of the solar system and the evolution of life on Earth.
