Zoogoer hits chimpanzee with water bottle — and the chimp hits back: video

A tourist threw a plastic water bottle into a chimpanzee’s enclosure at a zoo — provoking the animal to strike back.

Security footage shows a man throwing a plastic bottle toward a chimp at Changsha Ecological Zoo in southern China on Sunday, Newsflare reported.

Once the chimpanzee — known as Diu Na Xing — noticed it in his habitat, he grabbed the bottle and started banging it on the ground, and threw it back into the crowd of tourists.

A girl’s eyebrow was allegedly bleeding after being hit by the plastic bottle, and her phone screen was also cracked.

The girl can be seen holding her face and walking away from the enclosure.

Tourists were advised not to tease the primate, who is well-known for throwing stones, mud and other items at guests of the zoo.
