This is the unbelievably cute moment a chimpanzee tries to kiss a woman after she pressed her lips against the glass of its enclosure.

The video shows a woman, the filmer’s wife, pressing her lips against the enclosure glass before the chimp mimics her pose and does the same thing.

The filmer said the chimp had initially not been paying attention to them but became interested when his wife, a former gymnast, started doing cartwheels. 

He said: ‘The chimp loved it and started throwing his arms up on the window. My wife followed his lead and threw her hands up on the window, she looked him right in the eyes and kissed the glass. 

‘The chimp planted his lips on the glass and gave her the biggest smooch right back.’
