Meet the monkey from Indonesia who stole a camera and took selfies. This Macaque monkey was just curious and could
not resist the appeal of investigating the gadget. His own reflection
captivated him and he went on to hijack the camera to take self portraits as
seen below.
On the other hand, David Slater (an
outstanding photographer), who owned the confiscated camera was not amused at
first. He said the monkeys were of mischievous kind and they were jumping all
over his device; probably exhilarated by their first experience of ever seeing
their reflections. They even scowled their human-like set of teeth. Few of the
shots they took seemed like ones they had posed for.
In the process of pressing the
button, most of the monkeys got scared by the sound of the camera and fled. So this particular monkey had the sophisticated piece to himself. Later, the other apes came back and by the
time the photographer got his gadget back the animal had taken numerous snaps.
Most of the snap shots were out of focus, though. This confirms that these
close relatives can be a real menace! (This happened in year 2011)
