Many of us humans are sick of the modern day obsession with taking selfies - and it seems like our jungle relations are too.

This hungry orangutan slapped a tourist in the face when he tried to take a photo with him rather than handing over a snack.

The video, filmed in Borneo, Indonesia, shows a group of young men feeding the orangutan while on a boat on the Sekonyer River.

The tourists saw the orangutan hanging from a tree, and began feeding him food, which he took greedily

But the encounter turns nasty when one of the men turns his back to take a selfie, prompting the great ape to hit him.

The man who filmed the video said: 'In the Borneo jungle on the Sekonyer River when we noticed a wild orangutan hanging from a tree.

'He joined us in this boat and slapped my friends across the face!'

In July last year, the Bornean Orangutan was reclassified by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as critically endangered.
