In a recent viral TikTok video, user @justme_peacehere captured a moment at Taiping Zoo that has both visitors and online laughing viewers out loud. The video showcases a baby chimpanzee appearing to perform CPR on another chimp, creating a scene that looked straight out of a medical drama except with a touch of hilarious primate flair!
The clip, which has quickly racked up views and shares, shows the baby chimp bending over another chimp, making rhythmic chest compressions, much like a paramedic would. While it's unlikely the young chimp knew exactly what he was doing, the timing and gestures had an unmistakable resemblance to CPR, and viewers couldn't get enough of it.
The TikTok video has since become a lighthearted sensation, bringing joy to viewers worldwide and highlighting the entertaining and sometimes surprisingly relatable antics of animals. Taiping Zoo, which is known for its efforts in wildlife conservation, saw a surge in interest following the viral video as more visitors are curious to see if the "mini paramedic" is still at work!
It's safe to say that this baby chimpanzee has found his way of connecting with the world, one "CPR" demonstration at a time.
