在非洲喀麥隆的野生動物救援中心,攝影師拍到一隻『叛逆』小猩猩吐舌頭的照片。

這只小猩猩名叫Atinbi,它在當地土話中是『代替』的意思。救援中心的工作人員給它取這個名字是為了紀念其他兩隻死於獵槍之下的小猩猩。


Atinbi幸運地和母親都逃過偷獵者的捕殺。或許由於以前過著『逃亡式』的生活,它經常蜷縮在母親身邊,對人表現『冷淡』。

攝影師斯拉維克經常到救援中心看望那裡的動物,因而很幸運能和它們經常接觸並拍下一些難得的照片。他還說,『Atinbi的幸存預示著喀麥隆的猩猩會有光明的未來。』




Little baby girl gorilla Atinbi jokes with the photographer

The cute baby gorilla who thinks she’s a cheeky monkey

A photographer managed to capture the adorable moment a baby gorilla stuck her tongue out.

Whether cheeky or just defiant, little Atinbi sure knows how to get all the attention on her.

The diva-in-the-making was born was born at a primate rescue centre in Cameroon dedicated to saving her species from poachers.

She is one of 167 primates at the Limbe Wildlife Centre where many of the lowland gorillas are orphans rescued after their parents have been shot.

Atinbi is one of the lucky ones – born at the centre to her rescued mother she has not suffered the same horrible fate as many of her playmates.

Little Atinbi’s name means replacement in the local Bakweri language.

It was given to her in memory of two other gorillas killed by poachers.

The staff at the Limbe Wildlife Centre hope she will be a symbol replacing the sad stories of killed gorillas with hope from the new arrivals.

Photographer Petr Slavik, 44, took this heart-warming image while on an expedition sanctioned by the Zoo of Prague to take much needed supplies to help the native guards at the Dja Biospheric Reservation.

He said Atinbi sticking out her tongue was just one of many happy moments he was able to capture on his camera.

He said: ‘I had a chance to observe how gently she was treated by her mother.

‘I have to admit there were moments when I forgot to take pictures because I was so fascinated with how they were together.


Mother's love: Atinbi is being cuddled by her mother who keeps a watchful eye on the photographer


Hiding behind the safety of her mother's feet, Atinbi gazes at the photographer with big brown eyes


Tender love: These amazing pictures show Atinbi's unnamed mother caring for her baby. Atinbi is lucky - most of the gorilla's at the wildlife centre are orphaned after their parents are killed by hunters

‘Her name was given in memory of the two gorillas who died in 2008

‘These are the moments which will make you smile and rush tears in your eyes when you observe the animals.

‘Hopefully, the little Atinbi is the symbol of brighter future of gorillas in Cameroon.’


The name Atinbi means 'Replacement' in the local language and was given to the little baby girl after two gorillas who died in 2008
