Monkey trying out working as a professional photographer

A monkey from the ancient macaque species in one of the regions of Indonesia, simulated and imitated the work of a professional photographer after watching him take pictures with a professional camera.

And the video shows a small “macaque” monkey who grabbed a professional camera and started looking through the camera’s small viewing lens, as if he was taking pictures of his monkey friends.

This is amazing.@MogensTrolle was taking photos in Indonesia's Tangkoko Nature Reserve when he got up to stretch his legs.

When he came back, he found this wild black crested macaque using his camera like a human being.

An Indonesian activist account named Yashar Ali shared a tweet on Twitter, in which he said: “Photographer Mugens Troll was taking pictures in the Tangkoko Nature Reserve in Indonesia, but when he took a break and returned to work, he found a wild black macaque using his camera and imitating him in his profession.” .

According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, the monkey picked up the camera, moved it and looked several times through the lens, and tried to get the best viewing angle.
