THE APE BEHIND THE MEME.

The Black Ape has been part of internet culture for years.

Native to Sulawesi, Indonesia, the Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra) is known for its jet-black fur and distinctive look, earning it the nickname The Black Ape.

The species became an internet icon thanks to the famous Monkey Selfie. During a wildlife photography trip, a macaque got hold of photographer David Slater's camera and snapped the now-famous grinning photos.

The photos went viral, became a worldwide meme, and even sparked a major copyright debate.

FROM SULAWESI TO THE INTERNET.
THE BLACK APE WAS ALWAYS A MEME.
