TUGGING at his exhausted mum's ears, a beautiful baby orangutan refuses to settle for a nap as he begins a game of peek-a-boo. Smiling back at her restless baby, the sleepy mum scoops him onto her back and takes him for a walk.

Lessy, of Jakarta, Indonesia, says: "I love photographing orangutans because of all their different human-like expressions.
