EDITORS COMMENTS
In this candid and amusing snapshot captured by Ilya Naymushin, we see Anfisa, a 12-year-old female chimpanzee at the Royev Ruchey Zoo in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The mischievous primate is caught in a playful moment as she nonchalantly picks her nose. Anfisa's expressive face and human-like behavior remind us of the close evolutionary connection between humans and our primate relatives. With her intelligent eyes and dexterous hands, she appears to be fully aware of her actions, perhaps even relishing in the attention she receives from onlookers. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of these highly social creatures who share approximately 98% of their DNA with humans. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences in appearance and habitat preferences, we are all part of the same intricate web of life on Earth. The photograph also highlights the important role zoos play in conservation efforts by providing a safe haven for endangered species like chimpanzees. Through such images, photographers like Ilya Naymushin help raise awareness about these incredible animals' plight while capturing moments that evoke both laughter and admiration. Overall, this endearing print captures an ordinary yet captivating moment from Anfisa's daily life—a testament to nature's diversity and its ability to surprise us with unexpected similarities between different species.
