An orangutan who has learned how to take photographs with a simple camera now has around 70,000 fans on the social networking website Facebook.
The camera dispenses a raisin every time Nonja or one of her fellow orangutans at Schonbrunn Zoo in Vienna takes a picture.
ABOUT ORANGUTANS
The orangutans (or orangutangs) are one of two endangered species of great apes (the other being the gorilla). Known for their intelligence, they live in trees and are the largest living arboreal animal. They have longer arms than other great apes, and their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Vietnam and China. There are only two surviving species in the genus Pongo: the Bornean Pongo pygmaeus and the critically endangered Sumatran Pongo abelii. The subfamily Ponginae includes the extinct genera Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus.
