Orangutan masters the selfie

YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: When keepers at Blackpool Zoo left a GoPro in the orangutan enclosure, it took the apes less than a minute to master the selfie, Armenpress reports, citing Metro.

Blackpool Zoo is releasing a new video series aimed at giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at life at the park.

Andwhen keepers put a camera in an indestructible case and left it with a pair of female orangutans, the great apes showed their human side by flipping the camera round and recording themselves.

“Keepers eventually persuaded Cherie to swap the expensive camera for a banana”, Blackpool Zoo wrotein the video description.

These apes seem much happier to film themselves thanthis chimpanzee, who was so annoyed with a camera drone that he batted it out ofthe air with a big stick.
