Photos Of The Day: Primate Portraits Show Monkeys With Striking Human Expressions

Reaching Maturity

These photos were taken by British wildlife photographers Anup Shah and Fiona Rogers. They have spent the past year travelling the world to capture stunning images of some of the planet's most elusive primates. Below are their pictures of apes in their natural habitat displaying human-like facial expressions.

According to Huffington Post UK:
Though their subjects are rare it's clear to see why they are considered to be our closest cousins. Their collection of pictures captures apes in the natural habitant, with their instinctive expressions laid bare.

From puzzled to playful, musing to mischievous, their startlingly human expressions reveal a capacity for emotion that rivals our own.

Whether a sleepy yawn, piquant grin or thoughtful muse, these candid images show that apes are undeniably 97% human.

  1. we went shooting down in bayou country and i shot a chimp monkey. i dont know what it was doing in the swamp but it scream just like people when it was dying.

    i didnt know it was a monkey when i shot at it and i felt bad after. we were tracking deer and they was in season so it werent illegal.

    You killed a chimp ??....gesh..I think there's a BIG difference between a monkey and a deer...Was it being aggresive??

  4. I have always wondered about shooting certain animals. I hunt a lot but have zero interest in shooting animals like bear, coyotes, monkeys, wolves, etc. Maybe unlike deer or pig or elk these animals have a personality. Just never found the fascination with it.

  5. it werent on purpose. the monkey was moving crossways on all fours through the underbrush and a took two shots at it. i hit it in the lower leg and it was screaming and screaming so much i had to put it down. i still feel bad to this day but it werent illegal. like i says it was deer season and i thought it was one of them. im truly sorry for what i done. it was agressing at all just running by.

  7. Oh god this is still so boring. Bigfoot isn't real. Shut this site down. I wish BBB would shoot Bigfoot if it existed. Why don't you bone- maps take some interest in a world where large primates actually live. Gorillas are boring but at least they're real.

  8. bigfoot aint boring. i hope to see one someday and if i do it will be the happyest day of my life next to my wedding day and when my eldest was born.

    to broski even though i killed my fair share of game i don't think pigs aint got character. many times when i been at a stop light near a pig hauler you can look at them poor pitiful creatures and you can see in there eyes they is going to be executed soon. they just know it. makes you wonder if eating bacon or killing anything at all is worth it or right in the eyes of the lord.

    i would not kill a bigfoot unless it was by accident.

  9. I would kill a bigfoot if given the opportunity. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Stuffing it would be boring so I'd have him hung drawn and quartered. If he existed, which he doesn't, he deserves to die for being such a time waster.

  10. Id keep it sedated for years, charge admission to Monkeymaker, Bobo, Meldrum and the rest, then when I was good and rich Id let the scientists perform live vivesection on a TV show that came on right after "dancing with the Stars" and make fun of all the people who claim to have video and have devoted their life to finding Sasquatch. What a joke, either find one and kill it or stop claiming they exist.

  11. Don't let these cute pictures fool you. A sexually mature chimp is one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
