CHEEKY MONKEY COOLS OFF IN APRIL SHOWERS

This cheeky chappie is getting into all kinds of monkey business as he enjoys cooling off on a scorching hot day. The bold Japanese macaque monkey, called Bejo, made the most of his time in the lime light as he is pictured here striking a number of poses for the camera and shaking himself dry after taking a dip in his enclosure. Throwing his head back and stretching his legs out, there is no doubt this little fella wanted all eyes on him as he enjoyed the cool water in the Gardens of Surabaya Zoological, Indonisia. Indonesian photographer Monica Anantyowati, 40, was at the open air monkey cage when she snapped the shots.
