The sweetest moment came as the youngster lovingly stroked his mother on her head as she closed her eyes, their faces barely an inch apart.
They also cuddled cheek to cheek, the baby’s little hand wrapped tightly round his mother’s finger.

Puckering up: Baby looks ready for a kiss
Tender touch: He stretches out a long arm to stroke his mother on the head
And the bigger animal also held up her son by his arms and then lay back to let him practise walking on her chest.
No wonder he gave her such an adoring look and seemed to pucker up his lips for a kiss.
These pictures were taken by Olga Dmitrieva, who was given unrestricted access to the two orangutan families living at Moscow Zoo.
She said: ‘Orangutan parents are very tender, especially mothers. Sometimes I think we could learn from them about how to care for our kids.’
Hands up: Help with walking practice
