Photo story about a breadwinning father (feat. Schleich chimpanzees)

Hello, friends!
When I was making my first steps at collectors forum back in 2007, people were fond of making photo stories with animal figures (Ana, you should remember it well, as you took part too;)) But in course of time this theme had passed off, unfortunately... I'd be glad to reanimate it, cause it was always fun and exciting to see those pics woven into stories.
Unfortunately, now I don't have those spacious cabinets with wildlife displays, and my current bookshelves don't allow creative shooting. So, I want to repost here some of my favorite photo stories from 2007-2008 to rekindle the interest.
P.S.: dear admins, have I chosen the right forum category for it?

So, here's my photo story about a breadwinning father showcasing one day in the life of a very nice Schleich chimpanzee family.

1. Early morning. The head of the family is going to set out on his daily journey for food.

2. His wife and son wish him luck and wave him goodbye.

3. Danger on the way! The chimpanzee is hiding from a leopard in the thicket. Fortunately, the wind direction doesn’t allow the leopard to nose out the prey.

4. The chimpanzee reached the trunk of a giant tree which he’s gonna climb down. On the background one could see a gorilla father teaching his kid climbing trees.

5. Our hero is climbing down from the forest canopy.

6. And here’s the goal of his journey – a fruit-bearing tree. The chimpanzee’s fellow – meerkat - cheers him.

7. He’s on top of the world! Yes, he’s a real breadwinning father!

8. The breadwinning father is bowling a giant fruit along to the tree.

9. Another view of the same process.

10. Up he goes, to the second forest layer. His burden is heavy, but who cares about burdens when there’s a family waiting for food at home.

11. At last he’s reached the canopy. An accidental witness gorilla hems with approval.

12. Home, sweet, home. Look what we’ve got today!

13. A family meal.

P.P.S.: As for me, I like photo #10 the most. And you?

That's fantastic to see this photostory again! Thank You for sharing Kirill, of course I do remember That some first pictures I saw in animals collecting forum LG. And were very inspiring for me I must try to find time for new photo stories, that was so much fun

My favorite is photo 9 BTW, I like the lighting in it

Congrats Kirill, and I hope to see in near future some brand new photo stories by Kiryuha

This is SO wonderful

I LOVE the story, - great pictures (o)):

Seriously Kyril... This SCHLEICH chimp is absolutely blind indeed... Why did he searched so far a big fruit since there are so many yellow and red, and more easy to eat, fruits just behind his family

Congratulation and thanks for the nice trip on your shelf (o)):

Thanks Kiril for showing these nice pictures with stories. Although I understand your fruitful and nostalgic feeling, I can remember some stories on thif forum, specially the tapir that was searching his Mom! ... and more, and more!
Good work!

I think the chimp father wanted to find and give to his family something extraordinary, THE most impressive fruit of the whole jungle, not just any fruit

I remember some also, for example hilarious one with Britains Kangaroo Jesus

Thanx, girls and boys!

I'd be very glad if you found time for such stories!

That is problematically as I don't have a display appropriate for a photostudio anymore... But I want to repost some more of my older stories. I enjoy looking thru them myself, after the years have passed.

A nice observer you are, Kiki! But those smaller fruits were unripe, appearingly.

Maybe we all need to go far from home to find what was always just under our eyes
