According to the central zoo, it is a 19-year old female chimpanzee "Daly (meaning azalea in Korean)" that is smoking a cigarette, which means that he smokes one cigarette a day. Dalie seems to be able to skillfully manipulate the lighter to light the cigarette by himself, but the zookeeper at the central zoo is saying, "Darry is only blowing cigarettes, not smoking smoke" I emphasize.

Actually the azalea puts a cigarette and lights with a lighter and the moment of smoke blowing can be seen in the following movie.
