Something was lost in translation recently at a zoo in the USA when a human visitor asked a chimpanzee for a kiss but was given a poo instead.

The amusing - if pretty disgusting - moment was captured at Fort Worth Zoo on Thursday.

The video of the incident shows the mum leaning into the glass of the chimp enclosure for a kiss.

Meanwhile, the bad mannered ape reaches around to its backside and produces a freshly minted turd which it deposits inches away from the zoo visitor.
