It’s a hard life for so

me but not for this baby gorilla pictured relaxing in a human-like pose resting in the sun.
Seemingly without a care in the world six-month-old lowland gorilla baby Yewande leans back with her arms behind her head.
They are expertly balanced on a strip of cloth suspended between two wooden struts in her enclosure forming almost a hammock behind her head.
Yewande – from Calgary Zoo, Canada – decided to take some time out after spending a good half and hour playing with her favourite pink blanket.
In another shot Yewande’s huge silverback dad Kakinga dwarfs the youngster as he wanders over to check on his chilled-out offspring.
Yewande’s exploits were caught on camera by zoo visitor Nancy Chow, 66, who was amazed by the pose struck by the baby primate.
Nancy, from Alberta, Canada, said: “When I took this shot I love it right away because the baby gorilla was so adorable, Yewande looks so human-like.
“It is easy to see how closely we are related to these great apes, Yewande’s pose could be any one of us taking a well-earned break.
“Except I don’t think I could do that with my feet.
