A group of the animals - known as a mob - at Longleat Safari Park turned their paws to the hobby when a warden accidentally left a camera in their enclosure.
In the five minutes before he returned, the inquisitive mammals clambered up the tripod, explored the controls and managed to take three family photos.
Ian Turner, deputy head warden at the park, and the man whose left his camera in the enclosure while taking images for a new brochure, said he was amazed to discover the images on the digital memory card.
It is believed the shutter button was pressed by adult alpha male Monty, who usually leads the mob of eight when exploring new objects.
