Animals

Apes and monkeys are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. Their peculiarities and abilities, their behaviour and mysteries fascinate us to the core. They are presented here in all their diversity from the pygmy marmoset that weighs roughly 100 grams to an adult Gorilla of 270 kilos. Ingo Arndt has spent a decade capturing these wonderful images of apes and monkeys in the wild. He describes how the photographs were taken and includes anecdotes of his adventures on his travels. Each section features an informative introductory chapter by zoologist Fritz Jantschke.
