On this particular day, one officer Patrick Sadiki was on his daily routine job when he snapped a sweet selfie capturing the incredible human side of the gigantic apes.

One stepped about a metre away from Sadiki and struck a womanly pose while the other crouched right behind for a memorable selfie moment.
