MONKEY LOVE

PUCKERING up and enjoying some quality time, these are the most lovable monkeys on the planet. Taking it in turn to plant a kiss on their siblings, this family of monkeys are pictured enjoying an affectionate moment during their busy day. One can be seen grinning from ear to ear as he laps up the attention from the clan. These cute snaps were captured by amateur photographer Eric Monvoisin, 50, when he spotted this family of monkeys enjoying some quality time together. 'I was amazed by the affectionate behaviour from the monkeys,' said Eric.
