'When they saw me take out my phone they dropped what they were doing, spotted the camera and watched.' Virunga park ranger Mathieu Shamavu whose gorilla selfie went viral, tells us what led him to take the now famous picture:
- Standing casually and turning their heads to stare straight at the camera, Ndakazi and Ndeze look like any cool selfie pros - only these posers are gorillas.
Mathieu Shamavu, Virunga ranger and caretaker at the park’s Senkwekwe Center for Orphaned Mountain Gorillas, said he was out walking with Ndakazi and Ndeze when he spotted a photo opportunity. Ndakazi and Ndeze were raised by caretakers at the Senkwekwe Center after being rescued in 2007 when they were babies.
