We all know that animals should not be teased in the zoo. Now Antwerp Zoo in Belgium requires visitors not to look directly at the chimp face.
A series of new rules were posted outside the chimpanzee's residence at the city's zoo to ask visitors, especially regular visitors, not to be intimate with male chimpanzees. entitled " Cheetah ". The animal was raised by the baby but now is trying to integrate with 7 other monkeys in the park.

"We informed our guests that one of our monkeys was particularly excited about communicating with people," said zoo spokesman Ilse Segers. "Animals live with people from a young age so now we are trying to integrate it with the more homogeneous world."
She said if Cheetah kept on interacting with humans, it would make it difficult for her to interact with other animals in the group.
A sign is attached outside the area of the animal asking viewers not to look at the animal's face."Look away when the animal wants to talk to you, or step back. Some animals are more interested in visitors than their kind , " the sign says.
Segers said the zoo does not necessarily prohibit visitors from seeing chimpanzees completely."Of course it's okay to touch each other. We have more than 1 million visitors a year and of course they are always welcome to visit animals."
Antwerp Zoo 164 years old is one of the oldest zoos in Europe and attracts more than 1.3 million visitors a year.
