Chain-smoking chimp puffs away on cigarettes - and even knows how to use a lighter - at North Korean zoo where she has developed a 20-a-day habit

A chain-smoking chimp is pulling in the crowds at a newly-opened zoo in North Korea where she has developed a 20-a-day habit. 

The star of the zoo in the country's capital Pyongyang is Azalea, who has taught herself how to light her own cigarettes. 

She now gets through a pack a day and has even picked up on how to feed her habit if there is no lighter available - by igniting her smokes with a discarded cigarette.
