Footage captured in the city of Chongqing in south-western China shows the 20-year-old male chimpanzee Yu Hui mimic the actions of a tourist as he presses his hands towards the glass and carries out a series of push-ups.
In 2017, researchers in Sweden found chimpanzees like to imitate humans and often replicate gestures such as clapping, head-slapping and armpit-scratching.
Scientists found about 10 per cent of the actions produced by either humans or chimpanzee at the zoo was an imitation of the other species' interactions.
