Plan B Forum

These marvellous images of a critically endangered monkey in Indonesia were captured by the monkey itself.

The inquisitive animal grabbed a camera that had been left lying around and playfully began to investigate the equipment before becoming fascinated with his own reflection in the lens.

And it wasn't long before the crested black macaque started snapping away with award-winning photographer David Slater's camera.

'One of them must have accidentally knocked the camera and set it off because the sound caused a bit of a frenzy, said Slater, 46.

'At first there was a lot of grimacing with their teeth showing because it was probably the first time they had ever seen a reflection.

'They were quite mischievous jumping all over my equipment, and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.

'The sound got his attention and he kept pressing it

'At first it scared the rest of them away but they soon came back - it was amazing to watch.

'He must have taken hundreds of pictures by the time I got my camera back, but not very many were in focus. He obviously hadn't worked that out yet.

'I wish I could have stayed longer as he probably would have taken a full family album.'
