She is an orang-utan from Indonesia, the report says, whose habit to smoke grew when she constantly used to receive lit cigarettes from visitors at a zoo. She was residing at the central Java zoo in Surakarta, an island within which has now become her residence.
According to sources, the small island has been declared as her permanent home. She would now live with her boyfriend Didik, 16, in the middle of a lake only. However, it is not for the first time that a primate has been found to be addicted to tobacco or cigarettes.
It has been found that Shirley, who is also an adult ape, was caught previously in Malaysia for her smoking habit that she developed in a same manner.
