Most people love to take selfie, to some, its an habit, to some its a way of life. However, if you think only humans like to take selfie, you will be wrong. Check these five amazing animal selfie.
1. The crested black macaque's selfie
that was at the center of a legal
battle (Indonesia).
In 2011, wildlife photographer David Slater
finally had a legal claim by animal-rights
group PETA dismissed after the organization
had claimed a monkey owned the
intellectual property rights to some of his
pictures.
Media organizations argued they could
reprint the above photo for free because the
copyright was owned by the monkey, six-
year-old Naruto, and not Slater. PETA then
filed a lawsuit to administer all proceeds
from the photo for the benefit of the
monkey.
A judge ruled that while Naruto may have
deliberately taken the picture, animals
cannot own copyright – and dismissed the
case.
2. Manny the cat takes better selfies
than most humans (US).
According to Instagram user @yoremahm,
his cat, Manny, learned to use his Go-Pro by
chance when it reached out to touch the
camera during a shoot one day. Manny's
photos document his fun adventures in the
great outdoors, and you'll often see his
canine brothers and sisters in the
background.
3. An Ogilby's Duiker takes an interest
in the camera (Cameroon)
Some of the animals on this list were taken
by camera traps which allow photographers
and conservationists to observe animals in
their natural setting without human
interaction. This is an Ogilby's Duiker
(Cephalophus ogilbyi) in Cameroon — the
species often shows interest in the cameras.
4. A grey langur is startled by a
camera trap (India).
The use of camera traps began in the early
5. A curious chimp duo's adorable
prize-winning selfie (Sierra Leone).

BBC Wildlife Camera-Trap Photo of the Year
award in 2012
Really cool right? Animals too are cool at taking selfie.
