We've all been to the zoo, and tried and tried to get a great picture or video of the monkeys doing monkey things to no avail.

Here's the thing, the monkeys really aren't all that interested in you. What they ARE interested in are other monkeys. So, a guy had a great idea! Why not make it so that the monkeys can see themselves in the phone? That makes it easy to get pics and video without them realizing what you're doing! The results are awesome and you can check them out after the jump!

Obviously, the front-facing camera kind of did the trick, but incorporating the mirror really took it over the top!
