Sexually frustrated Feili has become grumpy and lethargic. She has even been driven to take up smoking because her partner, who is 28 years her senior, is unable or unwilling “to meet her sexual demands” according to the BBC. What makes Feili’s plight so news-worthy? Because she’s only thirteen years old. Oh, and she’s a chimp.

Despite her 41 year old cage-mate being crap in bed, Feili has turned her nose up at other potential suitors introduced to her by staff at the Zhengzhou zoo in central China. It is not thought that Feili is addicted to nicotine but rather that she is bored and passing the time by imitating smoking tourists. However, she certainly seems very keen to get her hands on the fags, spitting at passing visitors who ignore her requests for cigarettes or a light. It seems that it isn’t just humans who can get grouchy if they aren’t getting any.

Serkis has been “hanging out with gorillas in Rwanda to prepare for the role”.
