Poop thrown by chimp at zoo lands on grandma's nose

One West Michigan grandma got an unwanted gift from a feisty chimpanzee over the weekend.

In a video posted to Youtube on Sunday, April 2 by Jacob Mitchell, an energetic chimpanzee at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids is seen throwing poop at onlookers.

The 17-second video shows the animal humorously jumping around before flinging feces underhand at the large crowd.

I saw this happen at the San Diego Zoo myself. Baboons do it too.
