Lahore’s Chimpanzee Romeo Keeps Honey Away from People

via www.dailytimes.com.pk

The Lahore Zoo has erected barriers around the chimpanzee cage because Romeo, the male chimpanzee, gets upset if people come too close to his two and a half month-old baby, Honey. Romeo began to draw crowds after he began throwing water at people to ward them off. He would fill his mouth with water from the reservoir in his cage, run to the bars and spit it out on the visitors. Romeo shares the cage with his mate, Juliet, and Honey. They have another daughter Pinky who lives in a cage next to theirs.
