Orangutan's photographs become a hit on Facebook

Tom Phillips - 3rd December, 2009

Nonja the orangutan's photos, taken with a camera that dispenses raisins whenever she takes pictures, have won over 500 fans on Facebook since the zoo launched an online photo album on Tuesday.

Although the slightly blurry images of Nonja's climbing rope, food and companion's shaggy red-brown fur have won lots of admiring comments from fans, the photographer herself is not so interested.

'Of course the apes don't care about the pictures, they are just an accidental side product,' zoo spokesman Gerhard Kasbauer told Reuters. 'They just know that when they press the button, a raisin pops out.'
