An adorable baby orangutan was less than impressed when his mother had to pull him away from playtime at Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium.
Three-year-old Berani was dragged along the floor by doting mum Sari as he threw a tiny tantrum, but the pair quickly made up with the youngster planting a kiss on his parent.
Other snaps of the playful orangutan show him snuggling under a yellow blanket and enjoying a refreshing sip of water after working up a thirst from making mischief.
Photographer, Koen Hartkamp, captured the delightful moment during a visit to the park, which works to raise awareness of palm oil exploitation and participates in projects to restore the Borneo forest for orangutans.
Koen, 34, said: ‘Just like all small children, Berani still has to listen to what mum says even though he’s getting a bit more independent … and judging by the picture he didn’t like it.’
The orangutan family, which also includes father Ujian, arrived at the award-winning zoo in 2017 after moving from Germany.
