A mother and child sending air kisses to a zoo chimpanzee with hopes of getting one in return, received a smelly surprise instead.

The family was visiting the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas on Thursday, when they headed to the chimpanzee exhibit.

After sending kisses through the glass hoping the chimp would reciprocate, the animal surprised them by defecating and placing its feces before them.
