THIS baby gorilla looks like it would be apey to have a nap as it stretches at the end of a tiring day.
The cute snap of the worn-out mite is one of several where photographers have caught animals mid-yawn.

In another, a tiny barn owl is pictured obviously well past its bedtime.
And a shattered lion cub forgets to put its paw over its mouth.
The pics were taken by photographers across the world. Getting the perfect yawning shot is something they’ll never tire of…
