A chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a Russian newspaper reported.
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, for rehabilitation treatment.

Poor thing
