Guardian staff, The Guardian; Bear goes selfie-crazy by snapping 400 pictures on Colorado wildlife camera
[Kip Currier: A fun story, but, unfortunately for this ursine selfie-snapper, U.S. copyright law requires creators to be human. So, this bear can't claim copyright on these pics. See https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/docs/compendium-12-22-14.pdf
Naruto v. Slater affirmed this human creator requirement at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a highly-publicized case answering "No" to the issue of whether a selfie-taking crested macaque monkey named Naruto, represented by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Inc. (PETA), could constitute a copyright creator under the U.S. statute.]
"Most animals don’t notice the cameras, but officials said the bear appeared enthralled by this one."
