It appears to be from the Bristol Zoo from an April Fools joke this year? Anyone have any more info or larger pictures? Only one of the pictures is of decent size.

Fetching pictures indeed, Dalquaz; some outlets featured it straight, as:
"It's a hard life being a zoo keeper, as these intrepid souls working at Bristol Zoo demonstrate. Not only do you have to get up at the crack of dawn, deal with dangerous animals and shovel truckloads of dung, you sometimes get roped into taking part in nutty experiments. This team want to prove monkeys are no fools by carrying out their normal jobs naked to investigate the sensory sensitivity of gorillas. No gorillas were available for comment at the time of writing, so we'll have to wait and see whether they thought it was monkey madness or just totally bananas."
Most, however, tumbled to the date, as in:
"Sorry readers, you probably knew this already (being a well read lot) but this is an April Fools'. Ha, ha. As part of an April Fool, staff at Bristol Zoo Gardens perform tasks naked as part of a fictional experiment into the sensory sensitivity of gorillas. 31/03/2011."
I was only able to find one slightly larger version of the ones you posted, but taking the idea of "photos I wish were included in charity calendars" and running (I trust not completely out of bounds) with it, thought I'd add these latter three as well, from the GWN version (go Canucks!) of "How to Look Good Naked"...
