Gloucestershire (UK): A Gloucestershire photographer’s request to remove an animal selfie has been refused by Wekepdia because a monkey is said to have taken the picture.
The photographer called David Slater was on a trip to Indonesia when an endangered crested black macaque grabbed his camera and started taking hundreds of pictures.
When he looked at the shots taken by the monkey, he spotted an incredible selfie of the grinning ape staring right into the lens of the camera.

The pictures went viral in newspapers, websites as well as magazines across the globe.
