In what could be the epitome of monkey business, CeeJay stole a photographer's camera and snapped some very memorable self-portraits, including this one of a bemused photographer looking on.
wildlife photographer David Slater, 46, was following the endangered species of porch monkey for three days when CeeJay snatched his camera.
From The Guardian:
Slater said the photoshoot that resulted in these pictures took place after he set up a camera on a tripod. He left the equipment for a few moments and when he returned, CeeJay was, well, monkeying around with it.
"He was quite mischievous, jumping all over my equipment. He hit the button. The sound got his attention and he kept pressing it. At first it scared him and he ran away but soon came back – it was amazing to watch.
By the time he was able to get his camera back, Slater said that CeeJay had taken hundreds of photos.
And for those skeptics who think this might be a publicity stunt or hoax? The Guardian reports that Slater stands by his story, so we'll have to take the photographer at his word on this one.
