As a general rule, camera equipment and small monkeys don’t mix.

The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the full content.

Case in point: The footage shot at Wildlife World Zoo in Phoenix, Arizona, when a monkey snatched YouTuber Trent Houdek's camera. Presumably, Trent managed to get his camera back, although that would be after two minutes of lens-licking and monkey selfies.

Just don’t get started on whether the monkey now owns the rights to the video.
