Maryland Zoo's Chimpanzees Get Into Holiday Hijinks
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Humans aren't the only ones celebrating Christmas Eve this year—chimpanzees at the Maryland Zoo are also getting in on the festivities.
The zoo shared a video Friday of Asali, a female chimp, donning a bed sheet and having some fun with Maisie and Lola, two of the zoo's younger chimpanzees.
To no one's surprise, the clip is adorable.
The ghost of Christmas present is haunting Chimp Forest!
