Orangutan Nonja draws 80,000 facebook fans. For one raisin each.

Born 1976 at the Vienna zoo, orangutan Nonja eventually replaced brushes and palettes with a Samsung ST1000 digital camera including an added dispenser to automatically reward the 33 year old orangutan female with a raison for any taken shot. Pictures taken automatically get transferred to her facebook profile where some 80,000 friends from all over the world have gathered since October 1909.
