I had decided to hide a GoPro camera near to where orangutans often appear, hoping to get some close-up wide-angle images of them in the forest. I figured that in the worse case, if an orangutan found my camera it would realise it wasn’t food and discard it. So when a three-year-old orangutan picked it up I was amazed at the level of interest he showed. I wasn’t worried about my camera – it was the risk of choking that concerned me. After cracking the LCD screen he took it out of his mouth and accidentally took hundreds and hundreds of photos by pressing the main button.
