¡°I couldn¡¯t believe the huge muscles that the monkey had. The other monkeys were very small in comparison, they all looked a bit scared of her. The pictures make it look like it¡¯s competing in a bodybuilding contest¡± Santeri Oksanen told SWNS.
The Helinski Zoo said that they had recognised?the monkey and her name was Bea.
Talking about Bea, the photographer said, "It clearly wasn't impressed to be zoomed at. Amazing humanlike animals. Keeping species alive and well should be always priority everywhere."
The monkey in the picture is a white-faced Saki monkey, a species which is known around the world for its muscular build. Monkeys from these species spend most of their lives in trees and rarely come to the ground. The male sakis are more athletic and active than their female counterparts.
These monkeys are found in South America, Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela.
