COULD these two sparring monkeys be the furriest sparring partners on the planet? Pictures show how this troop of bizarre-looking gelada monkeys fight each other for their position in the group’s pecking order. Other pictures show how they flip their lips to display their fearsome teeth and how their little offspring cling onto their mothers while the action erupts around them. Czech photographer Karel Tupy (35) took the pictures while he visited the grassy highlands of Ethopia.
