The picture above was posted on Facebook a couple of days ago, and shows one ridiculously photogenic baby chimpanzee monkeying around in front of the camera.

“Pucker up gorgeous!” one viewer commented on this adorable picture of the baby chimpanzee. Sources say that Zuri, as this chimpanzee is named, was born at the Monarto Zoo in Australia back in August 2013.

Since then, she has been making significant progress towards growing accustomed to her surroundings and mastering the skill of transmitting various messages with the help of facial expressions.

The people working at said animal sanctuary explain that Zuri currently finds herself in good health, and that she very much enjoys posing in front of the camera.

Zuri's mother is expected to keep looking after her for up to five years. During this time, other females will lend her a helping hand in raising Zuri.
