According to macaque-ulations... physics professor spots monkey who is the spitting image of Einstein

  • Amateur photographer captured several photos of the adorable creature
  • Tufty hair and wrinkles make baby macaque look just like the scientist

Would you accept a physics lesson from a monkey who claimed to be a professor?
Perhaps you would if it was this extraordinary-looking macaque - who bears a startling resemblance to genius scientist Albert Einstein.
The astonishing pictures were taken by another physics expert, 66-year-old Professor Mihail Nazarov, at Taiping National Park in Malaysia.
It's all relative: The Stump-tailed Macaque's big eyes, wrinkled brow and tufts of white hair make him look just like the famous professor

Intelligent life: The likeness is unmistakable - although one of these two might be better at sums
The amateur photographer noticed the likeness immediately and quickly took some shots to prove his theory.
 
From his receding white hair to his sprouting moustache, the baby monkey is a double for the man behind the legendary E=MC² equation.
The Stump-tailed Macaque looks even more like the genius German scientist because of his wrinkled face, which belies his tender years.
Totally bananas: Like Einstein, the baby monkey knows the smartest solution to any problem - including transport

'As soon as I saw the baby monkey, my very first thought was that it looked like Einstein and that I needed to get some shots of it to prove it,' said Prof Nazarov.
'When I got back home, I looked back through the shots and could see the similarities between the monkey and Einstein even more.
'I love these pictures and the feeling of capturing something which is so unusual and amazing.'
Einstein took his place in the history books in the early 20th century and is often regarded as the father of modern physics for his work on the idea of relativity.
Now his furrowed brow can be seen again - not bent over a pile of books but swinging through the branches of a tree.

EINSTEIN VS MONKEY: HOW THEY MEASURE UP

Name: Albert Einstein
Born: Ulm, Germany (later lived in the U.S)
Lifespan: 1879-1955 (died aged 76)
Job: Most influential physicist of 20th century
Best known for: His mass-energy equivalence formula E=MC², the world's most famous equation
He says: All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree
Name: Stump-tailed macaque
Born: South China or northeastern India
Lifespan: Usually around 30 years
Job: Travelling and eating, mainly fruit
Best known for: Testing hair regrowth products for balding humans, because they too lose hair with age
He says: Not much, because his cheeks are filled with food. Will bare teeth at predators

Nice work DM, we need a feature on famous people reincarnated as animals. I saw an ape of some sort that looked a lot like the deputy PM hanging round London, may wanna follow that up for starters.
