Zoo keepers have reportedly trained a sea lion to write in Chinese.

Staff at Ningbo Zoo, China, spent three months teaching the sea lion, called Peter, reports People's Daily.

And it can now write the Chinese character representing a 'bull' - and can also sign off his work with his own 'sea lion' seal.

After writing, Peter, a six-year-old male, holds the seal and stamps it on the paper as a signature.

The zoo says Peter will demonstrate his writing skills for tourists during the Spring Festival at the zoo.
