Monkey holds its baby to the sky like Simba in Lion King
A monkey perfectly captures the Circle of Life by holding its baby to the sky like Simba in Lion King.
Photographer Dafna Ben Nun, 38, captured the incredible real life Disney moment whilst on a trip to Zimbabwe.
During her trip to the country to learn about the local wildlife, Dafna was instantly surprised to see life imitating art when the two monkeys recreating such a well-known moment.
The scene from the 1994 classic is one of the most famous images in the Disney universe.
In the film, baboon Rafiki holds Simba the lion cub up for the rest of the animals to see him.
The animals, that are native to South Africa, are often found in open savannah and open hills around Africa.
Dafna said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw an adult baboon holding a baby, looking exactly like Simba in the Lion King.
“It was just a split second, but it was fascinating to watch!
“They were all in the same group so no harm was done to any of the animals.”
