A Curious Chimp Takes Inadvertent Selfies With a Camera Stolen From the New York Times

While on location at the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, in Kenya, a very curious and clever chimp stole a hidden camera from New York Times 360 photographer Sam Wolson. The little thief brought the ill-gotten gain back to the congress, where a fascinating bunch of 360° selfies were inadvertently taken. The camera was eventually bought back with an orange Fanta.
