This charming monkey has a natural talent for the camera. Whenever it spots tourists, it strikes a pose — pouting its mouth towards the camera, hunching its back, or even peeking around to give the crowd a cheeky over-the-shoulder look.

It even pauses for a few seconds between each pose to give tourists enough time to take pictures
This monkey moves so fluidly and deliberately in front of the camera that it's easy to mistake it for a professional supermodel.

Tourists have noticed that once the monkey realised its playful antics were a crowd-pleaser, it started switching up its poses
The professional posing of the pig-tailed macaque has sparked lively discussions on the Internet, with many people visiting Qianling Mountain Park to see it
The park staff told local media that pig-tailed macaques are incredibly smart and expressive creatures. Macaques usually express their emotions by raising their eyes, squinting or pouting, and they have not received any deliberate training. This macaque has simply picked up some of the behaviours and movements of tourists.
This oyen in Thailand also went viral for being a complete natural in front of the camera:
