The article still leaves the reader in the dark as to how the image was made public in the first place.
From the article> Wikimedia's editors are split on the legal issues. One user, Saffron Blaze, said in a comment section associated with the photo: "I am not sure I am convinced by the no copyright argument. In this case the outcome was very disrespectful of the photographer who created the conditions that allowed these photos to be created. There are some jurisdictions where even the monkey could be imbued with the copyright as its creator."

As an old art student, I can readily sympathise with this. Spontaneity is often considered to be an important component of great art.
Thanks for finding the source. The newspaper could have at least added a nofollow link to the wikipedia article for those of us who want to see the picture at full resolution.
