A monkey took picture of herself!

It's not easy to take pictures of wild animals. They don't stand still and say CHEESE to you. Usually they disappear before you ever press the shutter.You need a really good camera (+a very very long lens) to capture them.

However, last week in Indonesia a very smart crested black macaque stole the camera of David Slater, an award-winning photographer, and took pictures of herself. Read the news here. Mr. Slater left his camera unattended for a while, and then came the smart and curious female from her group. She was attracted by her own reflection on the lens and somehow she pressed the shutter.

And voila! The first ever self-portraits of a wild animal! And these pictures are perfect!

Say CHEESE!

The monkey also snapped David Slater & one of her mates with perfect angle!

Just wondering... how about the copyright of these photos? Do they belong to the monkey or Mr. Slater?
