An Indonesian macaque appeared to be a natural with the camera when he copied a photographer by peering through the viewfinder like a human.
A clip,taken by photographer Mogens Trolle, 50, showed the black macaque moving the camera around and holding it in both hands, as if he was taking a picture.
He moves the camera around and watches as the view through the viewfinder alters, looking as if he is trying to get the best angle for his shot.
The photographer had just stepped away from the camera to stretch his legs and when he returned he found the monkey mimicking him before making a swift exit shortly after.
