Fun time with mum
Images show six-month-old Hari practising his rope skills and eating his greens all under the watchful eye of his devoted mum who loves to give him piggy-back rides at Prague Zoo.
The busy little ape does not even stop his activity to go for a wee, preferring to tinkle away while mid-hang.
Sumatran orangutans are found in the north of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
The IUCN Red List recognizes Sumatran orangutans as ' Critically Endangered', with only around 14,000 individuals left.
These heart-warming images were captured by photographer Lucie Št?pni?ková (38).
“I had heard about Hari’s birth and couldn’t wait to see him,” she told mediadrumworld.com.
“Seeing Hari’s comical expressions and his unbound energy made me really happy and I stayed there for hours taking pictures and just admiring the mother-son duo.
“He will soon be given more autonomy by his mother and he will start moving around on his own more. I am looking forward to watching him grow and become strong.”
