Orangutan photographer Nonja a Facebook hit | News.com.au
AN orangutan who can take photographs on a digital camera has become a hit on Facebook.
More than 15,000 fans are following Nonja and her photographs of daily life at Tiergarten Zoo in Vienna.
The zoo launched the online photo album of her work, which includes images of Nonja's companions, her climbing rope and food.
The 33-year-old orangutan uses a specially-adapted Samsung ST 1000 digital camera, which rewards Nonja with a raisin that drops out of the equipment each time she takes a snap.
“Of course the apes don't care about the pictures, they are just an accidental side product,” zoo spokesman Gerhard Kasbauer told the UK’s Daily Mail.
“They just know that when they press the button, a raisin pops out.”
