Behind the mystique, the intrigue, the enigma, lies the timeless question - what do monkehs smile about?
Photo by Sarah Conner, who became this baby chimp’s foster mother while working at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and who submitted this photo to National Geographic’s Your Shot. Thanks, Marilyn T., for sending it to CO!

This mostly toothless smile belongs to Tiny, the first gorilla born at the London Zoo in 20 years. At four months, he’s just learning to walk, with some coaching from his loving mom Mjukuu.

This Guinea Pig is all: “You know you know that’s wrong” [lip puckers]
And this turtle is all “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout now!?” [fast head swivel]
And this Bunny is all “You better hope you got carrots ’cause I ain’t wastin’ my time with no DRY pellets”
And these Gorillas are all: “Yeah I know you, but I don’t know you know you”
And this cow is all: “Son, you did NOT just do that”
And finally, this guinea pig is all: “Aw, hells no!”
