Monkey who took grinning selfie should 'received damages for copyright infringement', says Peta

Naruto, the six-year-old crested macaque, took the selfie in the Tangkoko Reserve in Indonesia while photographer David Slater wasn't looking

A monkey who snapped a grinning "selfie" that made headlines across the globe should be declared the photo's owner and receive damages for copyright infringement, animal rights activists have argued in a federal lawsuit.

Naruto, a six-year-old rare crested macaque who lives free in the Tangkoko Reserve on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, took the image and several others about four years ago using a camera left unattended by British photographer David Slater, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said in the suit.
