Who owns AHMENG's selfie?

(CNN)One is an endangered monkey with a cheesy grin. The other is a wildlife photographer who had just stepped away from his camera.

The two are at the center of a federal lawsuit filed by PETA, which wants the crested black macaque to win the copyright of a selfie he snapped with the photographer's unattended camera.

Photographer David J. Slater was taking pictures of endangered crested macaques in Indonesia when he temporarily left his camera on his tripod.

Sure enough, the curious simians grabbed the camera and played with their new toy -- pushing the button and capturing hilarious selfies, including a now-famous one dubbed "Monkey Selfie" taken by a macaque named Naturo.

But now PETA -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals -- is suing on behalf of Naturo, claiming he is the author of his selfies.

The photos were taken in Indonesia, but PETA says a U.S. federal court in California has jurisdiction because the publisher of Slater's book "Wildlife Personalities" is based in that state.







If AHMENG wins the case, will they pay is USD$, Bananas or Peanuts?
