A 33-year-old furry photographer is winning fans on Facebook for pictures of her daily life as an orangutan in a Vienna zoo.

Orangutan Nonja's photos, taken with a camera that dispenses raisins as she snaps, have won over 2000 fans on Facebook since the zoo launched an online photo album on Tuesday.

Although the slightly blurry images of Nonja's climbing rope, food and companion's shaggy red-brown fur have won lots of admiring comments from fans, the photographer herself is not so interested.

"Of course the apes don't care about the pictures, they are just an accidental side product," zoo spokesman Gerhard Kasbauer said. "They just know that when they press the button, a raisin pops out."
