I wonder if it does have anything to do with "wanting to be close to nature".
The animals in 'selfies' are basically props. Just something to add some sort of excitement or flavour to the self-taken picture which presumably will be shown on social media, or shown to friends etc.
It may rather be more about: "Look at me! Look what I'm wearing! Look at my hair! Look at the enviable location I am in! Look at the animal I have managed to corner which makes me look so much more interesting!" (?)
It may also be something to do with showing off; for instance making some kind of statement like, "Look at me! I can tame nature! I can get up close to a Bison/Shark/Lion....etc"
I am not saying we shouldn't use cell (mobile) phones, and I'm not saying a multi-tasking phone can't be useful. But so many people have become so attached to their phones, and so addicted to updating their social media pages, that they have 'lost the plot'.
