00:00The monkey grabbed his camera and accidentally took a selfie.
00:04When the photographer posted it, the picture quickly went viral.
00:08But an animal rights group sued the photographer,
00:11claiming the monkey was the one who took the picture.
00:14So technically, the monkey should own the rights.
00:18The court ruled that animals can't own copyrights,
00:21but the group refused to back down.
00:24So the photographer donated part of the earnings
00:26to help protect the monkey's species.
00:29And the case was finally dismissed.
