A cheeky monkey flashed his middle finger at apassing photographer after he was snapped takinghis morning bath.

日前，一只顽皮的猴子在摄影师抓拍它早晨洗澡时，向镜头竖起了中指。

Looking straight into the lens of the camera, heraised his left arm before flipping the bird at waitingphotographer Jari Peltomaki.

当时，这只小猴子直勾勾地望向镜头，抬起左臂，向等在一旁的摄影师扎里•佩尔托迈基竖起了中指。

The 51-year-old professional wildlifephotographer said: 'When I saw what he was doing, I quickly took burst of images to capturethe moment.'

这位51岁的专业野外摄影师表示：“看到它这个动作时，我急忙连按快门，抓拍到了这个瞬间。”



'At first I thought he was just playing around, but then he looked straight at me and showedme his middle finger. He looked so serious. It was over in a split second and there were severalother photographers at the same time - but I haven't seen anybody else having the similarimage. I was so happy that I was lucky and fast enough because I haven't seen an image likeit.'

“一开始我以为它只是在玩，然后它就直勾勾地看着我，还对我竖中指，看起来非常严肃。这一切发生在一刹那，当时还有很多其他摄影师在场。但没有一个人拍到和我相似的照片。我觉得我很幸运加上速度够快，因为之前从没见过这样的照片，我高兴坏了。”

Mr Peltomaki, from Liminka, Finland, had been visiting the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park inJapan when he spotted the Japanese macaque taking a dip.

佩尔托迈基来自芬兰利明卡，自从他在日本地狱谷雪猴公园看到日本猕猴游泳泡澡，就经常来这家公园。

Intrigued to see the animal so close up, he stopped to take its picture, but never expected theresponse he's had since.

如此近距离地观察这些动物，他完全被迷住了，开始为他们拍照，但从没想过动物们的反应。

People always say to me, "you got the shot", when they see the picture,' said Jari. 'I've had somany positive comments.

人们看到这张照片总会跟我说：“你真是走运啦”。迈基说：“我得到了很多积极的评价。”

It's quite rare to capture such a humorous image in nature which would make people trulysmile.

毕竟，在大自然能拍到这样风趣的照片，让人们发自内心的微笑，这是非常不易的。

So funny! Thanks.
