When you go to zoos, it is always best to respect the animals and not do anything to anger or provoke them into doing anything violent.
Recently, tourists at a zoo in China found themselves in trouble after a tourist had thrown a plastic water bottle at a chimpanzee which resulted in the chimp getting annoyed and throwing the bottle back at the tourist.
In a report, it was stated that an unidentified man at the Changsha Ecological Zoo which is located in China’s Hunan province can be seen on video throwing the bottle at the chimp while standing near its enclosure.
It was then reported that the chimp had gotten annoyed, felt provoked and proceeded to pick the water bottle up off the ground and throw it back at the tourist.
The flying water bottle ended up hitting a girl in the crowd which caused her eyebrow to bleed. Her phone was also a victim of the chimp’s anger as its screen had gotten cracked by the flung bottle.
Meanwhile, it was reported that those visiting the zoo had been previously advised not to tease this particular chimp, as he is apparently known for throwing things such as mud and stones at surrounding humans.
It is unknown whether or not the man who threw the water bottle had walked away without any punishment. Zoo officials have since confirmed the case has been reported to management, who stated they will enhance inspection at the chimp’s enclosure.
