A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.
"The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.
It added he has now been transferred to the city of Kazan, about 800 km (500 miles) east of Moscow, for rehabilitation treatment.
I'd like to party with this primate. That is one hardcore monkey to say the very least. Here's hoping that Zhora gets the treatment she so badly needs. Worst case scenario, lets get Dr. Drew on the case and make Zhora the first animal member of the SOBER HOUSE cast. She can't possibly be less likable than Kari Ann Peniche and is at least marginally more human.
