Nature's Comedy Show: Award-Winning Wildlife Photos That'll Crack You Up

13. Enjoying the View

This charming picture shows young Gombe, a 10-month-old chimpanzee, in a state of perfect calm that nearly exactly reflects human behaviour. The chimp's posture and expression have been expertly captured by the photographer, producing a scene that may readily be confused with a person relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

With his posture that aptly captures the idea of leisure time and replete with what seems to be a meditative stare into the distance, Gombe reveals The picture gains further relatability and humour from the connection between this natural behaviour and human TV-watching practices. While Gombe's laid-back stance and facial expression clearly show satisfaction that human viewers can identify, the lighting and background help to accentuate the calm environment of the scene.
