North Korea Has A New Attraction: A 19-Year-Old Smoking Chimp
Robert Donachie on October 19, 2016
A 19-year-old smoking female chimpanzee named Azalea is the latest attraction drawing droves of people to a North Korean zoo, while making waves on Twitter.
The chimp reportedly smokes 20 cigarettes daily, The Daily Mail reports. Azalea can even light up all on her own with a lighter. When her handlers take her lighter away, she ignites a fresh cigarette with a burning one.
Azalea’s trainer reportedly taught her how light up, and even encourages the habit when the park is busy. The trainer insists that Azalea does not inhale.
North Korea recently re-opened the zoo in the nation’s capital city of Pyongyang. The zoo is now bringing in thousands of visitors a day thanks to Azalea, and a slew of other attractions like a high-tech history museum, The Daily Mail reports.
