A female chimpanzee (C) yawns as two others nod-off, while they sit on rocks in a family group, with the sun on their backs in their open air enclosure at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, 26 April 2005. The special open air chimpanzee enclosure, which opened in 1980, is home to nineteen chimps and recognised internationally as one of the most significant in the world with such a successful breeding record as well as having been one of the first zoological gardens to house and exhibit chimpanzee in a group situation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. The sun casts a warm glow on the backs of three chimpanzees as they relax on rocks in their open-air enclosure. A female chimp at the center of the frame yawns lazily, while her companions nod off beside her. This family group of chimps is part of a special open-air enclosure that has gained international recognition for its success in breeding and exhibiting these remarkable creatures. With nineteen chimps calling it home, this enclosure stands as one of the most significant in the world. The image captured by photographer Rob Elliott showcases not only the beauty and grace of these animals but also their striking resemblance to humans. The way they sit together and exhibit behaviors like yawning and dozing off reminds us just how closely connected we are to our primate relatives. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of wonderment at nature's incredible diversity. It serves as a reminder that zoological gardens like Taronga play an essential role in conservation efforts and educating people about wildlife. Elliott's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail – from each chimp's expressive face to their surroundings bathed in sunlight. This image is truly a testament to both the photographer's talent and the captivating allure of these fascinating creatures.
