A CLEVER chimpanzee was spotted washing clothes for his keeper at a Chinese zoo after observing other workers doing it.
Yuhui, an 18-year-old male chimpanzee, spent half an hour cleaning a white T-shirt with a brush and a bar of soap, his keeper said.
Video footage provided by the zoo shows the chimp looking back to check on his sibling before picking up the brush and the soap.
Yuhui was then seen soaping up the brush while his sister watched him on top of a set of workout bars.
After getting enough foam on the clothing as well as his hands, the clip shows Yuhui putting the t-shirt back to water to rinse.
The clever chimp was then seen wringing it and laying it on the edge of the boulder, before repeating the process several times over.
The animal was caught doing the chore final Friday on the Lehe Ledu Theme Park in Chongqing, south-western China.
Yuhui's laundry session lasted for half an hour while his keeper was preparing food for him and his sister.
