Chimpanzee suffers from smoking addiction (newsphoto) Updated: 2005-08-25 17:15
A 26-year-old female chimpanzee named Aiai
smokes at Qinling Zoo in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi
province, August 23, 2005. The chimpanzee began smoking in 1989 after her
first mate died. Following the deaths of her second mate in 1997 and one
of her offspring, and the transfer of another offspring to a different
zoo, she began to smoke more heavily. Zoo authorities announced on August
23 that they planned to help her stop smoking through several measures,
such as finding a male chimpanzee for her.
