A cheeky gibbon steals bananas from an orangutan feeding platform near Camp Leakey in Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia.
Getting to Camp Leakey – a research station owned by the Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) – involves a long boat journey along twisting jungle rivers, and visitors can stop along the way to see orangutans chowing down at special feeding stations.
But other apes are waiting in the sidelines to steal the orangutans’ lunch, and this thieving gibbon brazenly jumped onto the feeding platform, grabbed a handful of fruit, then fled up the nearest tree before the other primates spotted him.
I love orangutans, but gibbons are definitely my favourite ape!
