I’ll believe the monkeys took those picture when the photographer publishes pictures of his expensive camera with monkey teeth marks and saliva and jungle detritus on it. I don’t think the monkeys could focus, or hold long enough to autofocus, and orient the camera and push the right button and no wrong buttons all at the same time. I submit as evidence of the unlikeliness that these pics are of monkey origin about half of all pictures on the internet, taken intentionally by supposedly more-able-than-a-monkey humans.
Opposable thumbs help in holding boxy objects while manipulating small buttons, and lack thereof makes same difficult. And hey, it is the Daily Male, not the Times of London or the Telegraph. If it was the Guardian I’d be absolutely sure it was fake.

I am both humbled and ashamed that I can’t frame myself that well when taking self portraits.

Which raises the question. Who has the copyright on the photo? The man owning the camera or the monkey that took the photo?

That is awesome. Sadly, the woman at the baseball game trying to take a pic of herself couldn’t even figure that out.
