51 Animals That Want To Be Photographers

We often see photographs of wildlife or of wildlife photography being taken from the cute animals' point of view. But what about wildlife photographers? That is, animals taking pictures of the pictures they're being pictured on?

It's unusual for animals to use tools, although these critters certainly seem to want to. We all know that chimps and other primates are pretty smart animals and sometimes use tools, but did you know that octopuses also use them? And that crows are so intelligent, that they understand how to displace water and are capable of solving complex puzzles or problems?

These animal photography shots capture the unexpected encounters between photographers and their subjects. Some of these funny animals seem to want to help out; others get behind the camera themselves for a selfie or two.
