One such example is the famous “quokka selfie” taken on Rottnest Island, Australia. The quokka, a small marsupial known for its friendly demeanor, has become a social media sensation due to its habit of approaching tourists and posing for photos. In fact, the hashtag #quokkaselfie has garnered over 10,000 posts on Instagram.
But the quokka isn’t the only animal getting in on the selfie action. In 2011, a crested black macaque took a now-famous selfie with photographer David Slater’s camera in Indonesia. The photo went viral and sparked a legal battle over who owned the copyright to the image.
