He's got the attitude, the charisma and the bequiffed look of a rock'n'roll star.

The world's last remaining mountain gorillas are known to share 97 per cent of DNA with humans.

And as this cheeky youngster romped in Rwanda with his devoted mother, he gave further proof of the striking similarities between the two species.

Whether he spent hours backcombing his hair that morning and screaming out 'Brown Sugar' is anybody's guess.

And after his showstopping performance, he indulged in a game of tickle with his affectionate mother, who doted on his every scream.

Then exhausted from all his exertions, he relaxed by curling up in his mother's arms and resting.
