A chimpanzee kindly returned a toy dropped into his enclosure by a tourist in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Weihai in Shandong Province on August 13 shows, a 13-year-old chimpanzee named Dongdong picking up a stuffed toy and placing it into a bucket for the keeper to get it back for a tourist.

As a token of appreciation for Dongdong's kind gesture, the zookeeper fed him a bag of milk, which he gleefully accepted.

A spokesperson for the park revealed, "Dongdong has always had a special place in our hearts. Born and raised here in the park, he was hand-reared by our dedicated keepers and has always shown a unique closeness to humans."

But there's more to Dongdong's story. Inside his enclosure, he shares his space with a little pig named 'Huanhuan.' The two have formed an unexpected friendship, adding a touch more magic to Dongdong's tale.

"Dongdong was always different from the other chimpanzees in the park," explained the park staff. "We were worried he might feel isolated, so we thought a gentle, non-aggressive companion would be perfect for him. That's how Huanhuan came into his life."

8月13日，山东威海，神雕山野生动物园里，一游客在游玩时不小心将毛绒玩具掉进了猩猩园，大猩猩见状小心翼翼地将玩具放到了管理员准备的篮子里，并帮忙递上篮筐，在猩猩的帮助下游客最终拿回了玩具。作为回报，管理员给大猩猩投喂了一袋牛奶。
据动物园工作人员介绍，这是一只年龄13周岁的公猩猩，叫“东东”，出生在本动物园内，自小由饲养员抚养长大，非常亲近人类。东东的笼舍内还有一只憨态可掬的小香猪，这是东东的好朋友‘欢欢’。因为东东自小由人类抚养，和园内其它黑猩猩不是很合得来。园区害怕东东孤单，便想找一只温顺的、没有攻击性的小动物陪伴它。
