抽烟猩猩在南非动物园去世 Smoking Chimpanzee Dies in S.Africa Zoo
一只以会抽烟而出名的猩猩在南非的一个动物园去世。布隆方丹动物园说，猩猩查理星期二以52岁的高龄去世，这比一般猩猩的平均寿命长至少10年。这个动物园曾试图帮助查理戒烟，但是动物园的游客一直给他香烟。
有关方面将对查理进行尸检，以确定他嗜好抽烟是否是导致他死亡的一个因素。查理在世时吃的是蛋白质奶昔和维他命的特殊饮食，而且得到特别护理。动物园方面认为查理死于自然衰老。
A chimpanzee known for smoking cigarettes has died at a South African Zoo. The Bloemfontein Zoo says Charlie passed away Tuesday at the age of 52, at least ten years beyond the average life span for chimpanzees. The zoo tried to help Charlie stop smoking, but visitors kept giving him cigarettes.
An autopsy will be done to determine if Charlie's love of smoking was a factor in his death. Charlie was on a special diet of protein shakes and vitamins, and was receiving special care. The zoo believes he died from old age.
