It was touch and go for little Hesty the baby orang utan for a while. The look her mother gives her seems to reflect that special tenderness that we feel for the loved ones we almost lost
Orangutans not only use tools but even use leaves as a primitive 'musical instrument' to amplify their calls
It's wrong, of course, to assign too much human emotion to animal behaviour but it's hard not to see a glint of innocent mischief in Hesty's eye here as she plays hide and seek with the camera
