A chimpanzee was banned from watching videos on a phone to cure an addiction (2 photos + 1 video)
A chimpanzee became a victim of digital addiction, but not by choice. Visitors at the Shanghai Zoo showed him short TikTok videos and watched his reactions. The ape gradually became immersed in virtual reality and began to forget about real-life matters. 
A chimpanzee named Ding Ding lives at the Shanghai Zoo. Visitors often showed him short videos and filmed his reactions.
Ding Ding would stare at his phone for hours, causing him to stop performing his daily activities and become increasingly stressed. Therefore, zoo staff officially banned him from watching videos to protect his mental health and well-being.
