London, Jan 16 (IANS) A female chimpanzee at a zoo in Spain was given her own TV and a remote control to pick what she wanted to watch. Zoo officials were surprised on finding that all she watched was a porn channel.

Gina, the chimp at the Seville Zoo, is hookoed onto an adult channel, the Sun reported.

“I could never imagine the surprises prepared for me by a female of this species called Gina at Seville Zoo,” said primatologist Pablo Herreros.

“To ‘enliven’ Gina’s nights, officials decided to install Freeview television, protected behind glass, and gave her a remote control so she could change the channels herself.”

During a trial, the chimp’s keepers visited her to check that everything was in order.

“The surprise was when they found that within a few days, Gina was not only using the remote control perfectly well, but that she also used to choose the porn channel for entertainment, as many of us would have done,” Herreros said.
