THis is a little bit cute.

With passport in hand, and a ready smile, here's one cheeky passenger who's guaranteed a warm welcome at the check-in desk.

Bili the bonobo chimp left fellow travellers bemused as he settled down in his own seat with a one-way ticket to a new life at a German zoo.

The three-month-old ape had his own animal export documents for the Lufthansa flight from Birmingham to Frankfurt but was given a special pretend passport complete with his name and picture.

Copago,
Thank you, such a sweet story. The pics of him are priceless and the fake passport he was given, too funny. I'm thankful we 'humans' stepped in and helped the little guy out. We do so much to destroy, it is heartening to see a story like this. Thanks again for sharing it!
