All he needs now is his own Twitter account
Selfies seem to be the latest trend with celebrities snapping themselves on camera and posting on Twitter.
In the same week Ellen DeGeneres' Oscars' selfie was retweeted 3.3million times – the most ever – a playful primate at London Zoo has also cottoned on to the trend.
Bekily, a 12-year-old male ring tail lemur, grabbed a camera from keeper Tegan McPhail during feeding time and began taking photos of himself. Unfortunately he doesn't have his own Twitter account, so Ellen DeGeneres can rest easy – for now.
Keeper Tegan said: “We’re always taking quick pics of the animals we look after as with workmates this cute, it’s hard to resist – but Bekily definitely wanted to get in on the action himself this time.
“As I was snapping away, he grabbed the camera lens and pulled it towards his own face. It took him a few attempts but he got a great profile pic in the end.
“I doubt we’ll be entering his pics into photography competitions anytime soon; however I think he did a pretty good job.”
London Zoo is encouraging all wildlife photographers – excluding lemurs – to enter the ZSL Animal Photography Prize which closes on April 1.
There is a £10k prize fund, and images will be displayed in an exhibition at London Zoo this autumn. To enter visit www.zsl.org
