The picture shows as if the monkey is controlling the camera. This also becomes the main attraction for tourists. One monkey handler in this object explained, a monkey selfie is just a trick.

 

 

 

As if the photo was taken by a monkey, who directs the camera toward visitors. In fact, the process is very simple. Using the visitor's cellphone, the handler casually approaches the nearest monkey. The handler then shows the banana or corn in addition to the cell phone that is ready to be taken. When the monkey's hand tries to reach for the banana, the handler snaps the monkey against the background of the visitors who are ready behind him. With repeated shots, between five and seven shots, visitors already have a satisfying monkey selfie photo. Visitors should not try it themselves. It is feared that the camera or cellphone was taken by a monkey.
