Primate monkeys around with student's phone, takes selfies

The photos show the wide range of footage the monkey photographer captured. He couldn't find it anywhere and began suspecting that he might have simply lost it as there were no signs of a robbery or anything.

Meanwhile, in order to track the phone, his father kept calling until it was discovered under a palm tree.

"I found my phone after my dad told me that there was a monkey roaming around the house and I thought maybe the monkey was a thief", he said.

His relative also jokingly pointed out that there might be photos on the phone or some other evidence that would explain how the phone found itself in the jungle. So when I checked my phone picture gallery, I was shocked.

Standard UK quoted him adding, "But later when I opened the gallery I ran out of words".

This photo taken with panorama mode but the phone wasn't turned, and provided by Zackrydz Rodzi shows a monkey which took a selfie in Batu Pahat in the southern state of Johor, Malaysia. It has still not been verified as to exactly how the phone went missing or how the photos and videos ended up on his phone. Besides the various social media it found itself on, it also made headlines in the local as well as global media.

A Malaysian man has said he discovered video and selfies seemingly taken by a monkey after recovering his missing phone. Either that, or it was pure luck.

PETA said the selfies were taken by a six-year-old called Naruto on the island of Sulawesi, although even the identity of the monkey was the subject of legal dispute. Well, it only took one this time around.

The freakish incident is not the first time a monkey has managed to take a selfie.

"Something that you might see once in a century", he tweeted when sharing the images and videos. Let us know in the comment section below!
