    Gorilla Shoots Own Film
    A gorilla has become a film director - with amazing results.

    But instead of shooting a King Kong remake, Ya Kwanza the 27-year-old silverback only managed a few vanity close-ups of himself - before throwing the camera back at his keeper.

    Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, based in Jersey in the Channel Islands, decided that their most photographed primate should turn the tables and become cameraman for the day.

    The charity provide their gorillas with 'enrichment devices' to encourage them to forage for food and keep them mentally stimulated.

    This time, the bright yellow box was not only coated with honey and oats and stuffed with raisins, but was also fitted with a hi-tech camera.

    The idea came from one of the charity's mammal keepers Jon Stark, who has taken care of the critically endangered western lowland gorillas for four years. He wondered what it would be like to take a look at life from the primate's perspective.

    Before the experiment Jon explained : "There is going to be a HD camera encased in the enrichment device as a way of seeing if our silverback could collect any interesting footage."

    The resulting footage shows the silverback investigating the device and meticulously picking out raisins with a surprisingly delicate touch.

    He then turns cameraman and takes a number of close ups and profile shots before peeling off the branding on the case. Quickly realising this didn't taste as good as the original flavoursome coating, he spits it out.

    Amazingly Ya Kwanza then perfectly captures a shot of Jon asking for the device back, before happily throwing the box to his waiting keeper on the outside of the enclosure.
