CHEEKY BABY ORANGUTAN

CLIMBING, falling and tugging on his weary mum, this little orangutan is up to all kinds of trouble. The cheeky youngster was photographed by Indian photographer Manoj Kumar Tuteja, 27, after he spotted him messing around with his mum whilst on a trip to Singapore Zoo. 'It's the unusual behaviour of the baby orangutan which is most attractive in these photos,' says Manoj, now of Singapore.
