My wife and I are neither scientists nor veterinarians nor primatologists nor photographers. *We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years (in the retail sector), to show on TH-cam the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it.* Our first videos posted on our TH-cam channel essentially showed wildlife "passing" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The passage of an elephant in front of the objective of a trap for about twenty seconds is not particularly interesting. On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html Elephant calves have fun during a creek crossing (Gabon jungle). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old and becoming partially deaf. Fortunately my wife has a very accurate hearing. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection. Our use of mirrors has been of great interest to primatologists, including members of the PSG, not the Paris Saint Germain football club, but the Primate Specialists Group, who have only been able to study self-recognition in a mirror in great apes in laboratories with captive animals or animals born in captivity, used to contact with humans. These animals did not have to search for food, defend their families against other congeners and predators, sometimes imitating humans, and therefore had very different distorted behaviours from primates living in complete freedom with their group or family in a remote area of Gabon's forest. Our cameras have highlighted a very particular behaviour among chimpanzees in the Nyonié region and resulted in a scientific publication, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". On our two following videos this behavior is filmed: th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (scared chimps reassure themselves with pseudo-copulation and rump-to-rump contacts front of mirror). This is how, incidentally in wild animals, we discovered and became interested in their self-recognition in our large full length mirrors.

I've subscribed to Ocean Conservation Namibia on TH-cam and who are dedicated to the protection of Namibia's marine wildlife. They upload videos daily of mainly the seal population under stress from man made objects choking (genuinely) the life out of these mammals on Africa's coastline. It is good to see that pollution seems to have not shown its impact in this area on the wildlife. Nice upload.

Wow. A lot of these animals I have never seen before, and probably never would have. I happened to click on one of your mirror videos and I'm glad I did. Your videos are fascinating.

@@XHB06400CANNES I can not even imagine how brave you all must be to walk through those forests on foot. And I hope you don't dismantle your mirrors. They're not cruel, in my opinion. What's cruel is taking these creatures away and putting them in cages. Here, they are free to examine the mirrors, to touch them if they want or to run away if they are afraid. I see nothing cruel about it at all. If anything the mirror seems to offer them a little entertainment and it offers a little entertainment and education to us as we watch them react to it. It's a win win.
On each of the clips that make up this video, you can see the same trees and grove because the trap camera is placed in a single steel security box fixed to a tree. What changes slightly are the lighting conditions, which depend on the weather and the time of day of the different shots, and a slightly different setting of the trap in its safety box. Please have a look at the shots taken by 2 of my other traps placed in different environments: th-cam.com/video/JMJG3S2NzWA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1zAKfoRSC2o/w-d-xo.html

tu comentario sobre mi vídeo nos anima a perseguir nuestra abrumadora y algo peligrosa pasión. Es una gran recompensa para mi esposa Anne-Marie, mi amigo Michel y yo. No estamos cómodamente sentados en nuestros sillones, para publicar sin ninguna descripción, pedazos de videos copiados de Internet. Pero mantenemos nuestros espejos y numerosas cámaras trampa, cambiar el SD, baterías, limpiar los objetivos, quitar las ramas caídas en su campo de visión, subir a pie el lecho de los marigotas para encontrar zonas de paso de animales para instalar allí nuevas trampas etc... Empapado por los tornados, el cuerpo cubierto de picaduras de insectos de todo tipo (tábanos, gorilas, tsetsé, hormigas negras, hormigas magnánicas etc.) y desgraciadamente el número de cámaras que se niegan a trabajar aumenta debido a la tasa de humedad del 95%. Luego hacemos la edición de los videos y escribimos una larga descripción en inglés que no es nuestra lengua materna y los ponemos en línea para mostrar la belleza de la fauna gabonesa, hablar de los cazadores furtivos, mostrar cómo los elefantes que han logrado escapar de una trampa de alambre, tratar el corte profundo hecho por esta trampa, mostrar cómo los elefantes recogen mangos, el reconocimiento de sí mismos en los espejos que no es innato tanto entre los humanos como entre los primates y otros mamíferos y así sucesivamente...

@@XHB06400CANNES Sir, your work is very noble. This is like a documentation of Animal Behaviour, that is very raw and truest of form. Also, this, in my humble opinion, shall curb poaching on a great scale. It is obvious that there will be several who disagree with the metal mirrors, or such. This is part of the human behaviour. For every work done, there will be a naysayer. I suggest you continue this invaluable piece of work. For this, is important for understanding animal behaviour from a very true picture, without any external manipulation. I have been following your channel for quite some years. And the reason is because of the kind of work your team and you deliver.

Two possibilities concerning this buffalo which appears alone on the screen: - This male has been chased away from the herd by young males of childbearing age - the other members of the herd did not pass in front of this camera. *In my trapping area, the main carnivore (except for poachers who avoid going there because of the presence of more than 70 trap cameras **th-cam.com/video/bIoUM0VnYng/w-d-xo.html** ) is the leopard. It is a solitary animal that does not hunt in a troop. It avoids attacking solitary male elephants as well as families with children because of their power of reaction in case of attack. It avoids attacking a calf in a herd of forest buffalo because of their aggressiveness. He avoids attacking monkeys (mandrills) and great apes (gorillas and chimpanzees) because of their cohesion and moreover he does not climb trees well. Moreover the flesh of these mammals is not very tasty except for the buffalo calf. The leopard appreciates small game such as small antelopes (blue duikers), porcupines and especially palm rats.* *It should be noted that chimpanzees, frugivores, insectivorous and herbivores occasionally eat small monkeys such as the putty-nosed monkey (Cercopithecus nictitans).* *Thus there is a kind of statuquo between elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, buffaloes and leopards that avoid meeting each other, all the more so because in this forest 'there is no competition for food, fruits and stems as marantaceae, being numerous in all seasons.* Thank you for watching more of my 180 videos posted on my channel and read the description attached to each one.

Franchement vos travaux sont à inscrire au patrimoine mondial. Ce genre de vidéo vaut 1000 fois une visite dans un zoo pour tout un tas de raison assez compréhensibles, la valeur d'authenticité des comportements observés et l'appréciation des milieux naturels principalement, mais le fait que cela évite tant que faire ce peut l'enfermement de certains animaux pour qui l'assistance humaine n'est pas un impératif pour la pérennité de leurs espèces.
Quel éloge ! Sur ma chaine je publie de nombreuses vidéos de réactions d'animaux face à nos miroirs. *D'où nous est venue l'idée des miroirs ?* Mon épouse et moi sommes, ni photographes professionnels, ni scientifiques, ni vétérinaires. Nous voulions remercier le Gabon, nous ayant accueilli pendant plus de 35 ans dans le secteur de la grande distribution, en montrant sur TH-cam la diversité de la faune de ce beau pays et donner envie aux internautes de le visiter. Nos premières vidéos diffusées sur notre chaîne TH-cam montraient essentiellement des animaux sauvages "passant" devant les objectifs de nos caméras pièges équipées de détecteurs de mouvement : La marche d'un éléphant devant l'objectif d'un piège pendant une vingtaine de secondes n'est pas particulièrement intéressante. Par contre une vidéo de jeunes éléphants jouant dans une rivière pendant que les adultes étanchent leur soif est beaucoup plus agréable à regarder : th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html *Pour trouver de tels "spots", il convient de s'éloigner du sentier emprunté par les quelques véhicules 4x4 de Nyonié (camp à 30 km de notre zone de piégeage), pour s'enfoncer plus profondément dans la forêt et remonter les rivières en marchant dans leur lit. Cela n’est pas sans danger surtout lorsque l’on est âgé.* Pour progresser plus facilement dans la forêt, les animaux utilisent le sentier des tout-terrains, sans lianes, sans buissons, sans ronces et sans arbres entremêlés au sol, suite aux très nombreuses tornades dans cette région à cheval sur la ligne de l’équateur. Alors, Il nous est venu l’idée de placer de très grands miroirs au bout d’une longue ligne droite afin d’attirer leur curiosité et de les « bloquer » devant leur reflet. Nous avons également placé d’autres miroirs sous des arbres dont nombreux animaux apprécient les fruits. A d’autres emplacements au milieu de la forêt, il eut fallu beaucoup de chance pour que les animaux croisent leur reflet ! Notre utilisation des miroirs a suscité un grand intérêt chez les primatologues, notamment les membres du PSG, non pas le club de football du Paris Saint Germain, mais le Primate Specialist Group (Groupe des spécialistes de primates), qui n'avaient étudié la reconnaissance de soi dans un miroir chez les grands singes que dans des laboratoires avec des animaux captifs ou nés en captivité, habitués au contact avec l'homme. Ces animaux, imitant parfois l'homme, n'avaient pas à chercher de nourriture, à défendre leur famille contre d'autres congénères et prédateurs, avaient donc des comportements déformés, très différents de ceux des primates vivant en toute liberté avec leur groupe ou leur famille dans une zone reculée de la forêt gabonaise. Nos caméras ont mis en évidence un comportement très particulier chez les chimpanzés de la région de Nyonié et cela ont donné lieu à une publication scientifique, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". Ce comportement est filmé sur nos trois vidéos suivantes : th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Frottement de la croupe chez les chimpanzés = effet anti-stress ? Un comportement social jamais observé auparavant) th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (des chimpanzés effrayés se rassurent avec des contacts de pseudo-copulation et de rump-to-rump devant le miroir) th-cam.com/video/dItKvW1jgMk/w-d-xo.html (Chimpanzees front of a Mirror in the Gabon Jungle Grooming Power displays Copulation, Grooming again) Regardez nos autres vidéos de la chaine et n'oubliez pas à chaque fois de lire la description qui y est jointe après celle en anglais.

On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html Elephant calves have fun during a creek crossing (Gabon jungle). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old and becoming partially deaf. Fortunately my wife has a very accurate hearing. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection. Our use of mirrors has been of great interest to primatologists, including members of the PSG, not the Paris Saint Germain football club, but the Primate Specialists Group, who have only been able to study self-recognition in a mirror in great apes in laboratories with captive animals or animals born in captivity, used to contact with humans. These animals did not have to search for food, defend their families against other congeners and predators, sometimes imitating humans, and therefore had very different distorted behaviours from primates living in complete freedom with their group or family in a remote area of Gabon's forest. Our cameras have highlighted a very particular behaviour among chimpanzees in the Nyonié region and resulted in a scientific publication, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". On our two following videos this behavior is filmed: th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (scared chimps reassure themselves with pseudo-copulation and rump-to-rump contacts front of mirror).

Very impressive! I respect all animals, not only wild animals but also farm animals that live in very poor conditions. I became a vegetarian.
Glad to see your back with a new video.It's been awhile so I was worried something was wrong.
Because of the pandemic my wife and I stayed in France. Fortunately the memory cards of my cameras can travel without any problem between Gabon and our home in Cannes and so our friend Michel continued to maintain our cameras and mirrors and he regularly sent us these cards. Thank you my loyal subscriber.
@@XHB06400CANNES just glad to hear everyone is ok.
WOW that giant squirrel would scare the heck out of our western and eastern grey squirrels out here.. It has been a while since you shared some of your video's I hope you, your wife and the team are doing ok! We had a real rough start to the year my wife was very very sick but we are coming around now.. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful work Xavier.. Be at peace my friend
🙏🙏🙏I thank my loyal subscriber for checking on us: My wife and I are well. Best of healing to your wife. Meilleurs voeux de santé de Cannes !
Bonjour,
Tout d'abord merci pour votre fabuleux travail et de nous l'avoir partagé.
J'imagine le temps qssé pour cette vidéo doit être énorme, choisir l'emplacement, attendre de nombreuses heures pour enregistrer + le montage de la vidéo, franchement bravo !!
Merci beaucoup.
À bientôt

Wow. A lot of these animals I have never seen before, and probably never would have.
I happened to click on one of your mirror videos and I'm glad I did. Your videos are fascinating.
Please ignore the haters. People will always find something to complain about. Clearly you're not harming these animals and you're educating people like me on the other side of the globe. Thank you, I'll be watching your videos and can't wait to see what you post in the future!
*_Your comment is a great moral booster after reading comments calling for the dismantling of these cruel mirrors!_* *Your feedback on my videos encourages us to pursue our overwhelming and somewhat dangerous passion. It is a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me. As you may have noticed we are not comfortably sitting in our armchairs, to publish without any description, pieces of videos copied from the Internet and put end to end. But we maintain our mirrors and numerous cameras traps, to change the SD, batteries, to clean the objectives, to remove the fallen branches in their field of vision, to go up on foot the bed of the marigots to find zones of crossing of animals to install new traps there etc... Drenched by tornadoes, the body covered with insect bites of all kinds (horseflies, gorilla flies, tsetse, black ants, magnan ants etc.) and unfortunately the number of cameras refusing to work increases because of the humidity rate of 95%. Then we do the editing of the videos and write a long description in English which is not our native language (french) and then put them online to show the beauty of Gabonese fauna, talk about poachers, show how elephants who have managed to get away from a wire snare trap, treat the deep cut made by this trap, show how elephants pick mangos, self recognition in mirrors that is not innate both among humans than among primates and other mammals and so on... and answer to numerous comments posted on my channel*

It's a choice..
*This is how we came up with the idea of setting up huge mirrors in the Gabonese rainforest:* My wife and I are neither scientists nor veterinarians nor primatologists nor photographers. *We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years (in the retail sector), to show on TH-cam the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it.* Our first videos posted on our TH-cam channel essentially showed wildlife "passing" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The passage of an elephant in front of the objective of a trap for about twenty seconds is not particularly interesting. On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html Elephant calves have fun during a creek crossing (Gabon jungle). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old and becoming partially deaf. Fortunately my wife has a very accurate hearing. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection.
Our use of mirrors has been of great interest to primatologists, including members of the PSG, not the Paris Saint Germain football club, but the Primate Specialists Group, who have only been able to study self-recognition in a mirror in great apes in laboratories with captive animals or animals born in captivity, used to contact with humans. These animals did not have to search for food, defend their families against other congeners and predators, sometimes imitating humans, and therefore had very different distorted behaviours from primates living in complete freedom with their group or family in a remote area of Gabon's forest. Our cameras have highlighted a very particular behaviour among chimpanzees in the Nyonié region and resulted in a scientific publication, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". On our two following videos this behavior is filmed: th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (scared chimps reassure themselves with pseudo-copulation and rump-to-rump contacts front of mirror).
This is how, incidentally in wild animals, we discovered and became interested in their self-recognition in our large full length mirrors.

I can not even imagine how brave you all must be to walk through those forests on foot.
And I hope you don't dismantle your mirrors. They're not cruel, in my opinion. What's cruel is taking these creatures away and putting them in cages. Here, they are free to examine the mirrors, to touch them if they want or to run away if they are afraid. I see nothing cruel about it at all. If anything the mirror seems to offer them a little entertainment and it offers a little entertainment and education to us as we watch them react to it. It's a win win.
All these in a single spot? Impressive!
On each of the clips that make up this video, you can see the same trees and grove because the trap camera is placed in a single steel security box fixed to a tree. What changes slightly are the lighting conditions, which depend on the weather and the time of day of the different shots, and a slightly different setting of the trap in its safety box.
Please have a look at the shots taken by 2 of my other traps placed in different environments:

Mi respeto y admiración por todos los que hacéis posible este maravilloso trabajo
tu comentario sobre mi vídeo nos anima a perseguir nuestra abrumadora y algo peligrosa pasión. Es una gran recompensa para mi esposa Anne-Marie, mi amigo Michel y yo. No estamos cómodamente sentados en nuestros sillones, para publicar sin ninguna descripción, pedazos de videos copiados de Internet. Pero mantenemos nuestros espejos y numerosas cámaras trampa, cambiar el SD, baterías, limpiar los objetivos, quitar las ramas caídas en su campo de visión, subir a pie el lecho de los marigotas para encontrar zonas de paso de animales para instalar allí nuevas trampas etc... Empapado por los tornados, el cuerpo cubierto de picaduras de insectos de todo tipo (tábanos, gorilas, tsetsé, hormigas negras, hormigas magnánicas etc.) y desgraciadamente el número de cámaras que se niegan a trabajar aumenta debido a la tasa de humedad del 95%. Luego hacemos la edición de los videos y escribimos una larga descripción en inglés que no es nuestra lengua materna y los ponemos en línea para mostrar la belleza de la fauna gabonesa, hablar de los cazadores furtivos, mostrar cómo los elefantes que han logrado escapar de una trampa de alambre, tratar el corte profundo hecho por esta trampa, mostrar cómo los elefantes recogen mangos, el reconocimiento de sí mismos en los espejos que no es innato tanto entre los humanos como entre los primates y otros mamíferos y así sucesivamente...
Es una elección...
Puedo sugerirles algunos de mis 180 videos caseros de mi canal que nunca han sido recomendados por TH-cam y que desafortunadamente tienen un número muy pequeño de vistas aunque son muy instructivos como:
Un leopardo macho y una leoparda usan demasiado un espejo para sus SMS. El gorila desaprueba th-cam.com/video/dbCaPS-01n4/w-d-xo.html

*May I suggest you some of my homemade-made videos from my channel which have never been recommended by TH-cam and which unfortunately have a very small number of views even though they are very instructive such as:*

@@XHB06400CANNES Sir, your work is very noble. This is like a documentation of Animal Behaviour, that is very raw and truest of form. Also, this, in my humble opinion, shall curb poaching on a great scale. It is obvious that there will be several who disagree with the metal mirrors, or such. This is part of the human behaviour. For every work done, there will be a naysayer. I suggest you continue this invaluable piece of work. For this, is important for understanding animal behaviour from a very true picture, without any external manipulation. I have been following your channel for quite some years. And the reason is because of the kind of work your team and you deliver.

Nice watching !
Similiar to Indonesia animals life. ❤
Same biomes same animal order different species.
why is that buffalo walks alone in the forest among leopards?
Two possibilities concerning this buffalo which appears alone on the screen:
- This male has been chased away from the herd by young males of childbearing age
- the other members of the herd did not pass in front of this camera.
*In my trapping area, the main carnivore (except for poachers who avoid going there because of the presence of more than 70 trap cameras **th-cam.com/video/bIoUM0VnYng/w-d-xo.html** ) is the leopard. It is a solitary animal that does not hunt in a troop. It avoids attacking solitary male elephants as well as families with children because of their power of reaction in case of attack. It avoids attacking a calf in a herd of forest buffalo because of their aggressiveness. He avoids attacking monkeys (mandrills) and great apes (gorillas and chimpanzees) because of their cohesion and moreover he does not climb trees well. Moreover the flesh of these mammals is not very tasty except for the buffalo calf. The leopard appreciates small game such as small antelopes (blue duikers), porcupines and especially palm rats.*
*It should be noted that chimpanzees, frugivores, insectivorous and herbivores occasionally eat small monkeys such as the putty-nosed monkey (Cercopithecus nictitans).*
*Thus there is a kind of statuquo between elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, buffaloes and leopards that avoid meeting each other, all the more so because in this forest 'there is no competition for food, fruits and stems as marantaceae, being numerous in all seasons.* Thank you for watching more of my 180 videos posted on my channel and read the description attached to each one.

Avez vous des images de femelle léopard avec ces petits au Gabon
Oui mes pièges ont filmé à de nombreuses reprises des mamans léopard avec leur petit. J'ai mis le mot "petit" au singulier car rarement dans cette région, elles n'ont plus d'un enfant par portée ou bien il y a t'il de nombreux décès lors des premiers jours : Regardez ces vidéos de la même mère (identification prouvée) avec un enfant femelle et trois ans plus tard avec un enfant de sexe mâle, observant leur réaction face à leur reflet, dans nos grands miroirs :
th-cam.com/video/ANH-0dAO_kw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/D-Aar9R5jbY/w-d-xo.html
Dans cette vidéo que je viens de publier, la caméra a eu l'occasion de filmer une mère léopard mais sa détection très tardive au moment où elle sortait du champ de vision, est donc inutilisable et ensuite ses deux enfants se sautant dessus en courant, scène de quelques dizaines de dixièmes de secondes, trop courte pour être insérée également dans la présente vidéo.

Boa noite shows Barra do Garças MT
Franchement vos travaux sont à inscrire au patrimoine mondial.
Ce genre de vidéo vaut 1000 fois une visite dans un zoo pour tout un tas de raison assez compréhensibles, la valeur d'authenticité des comportements observés et l'appréciation des milieux naturels principalement, mais le fait que cela évite tant que faire ce peut l'enfermement de certains animaux pour qui l'assistance humaine n'est pas un impératif pour la pérennité de leurs espèces.
Quel éloge !
Sur ma chaine je publie de nombreuses vidéos de réactions d'animaux face à nos miroirs.
*D'où nous est venue l'idée des miroirs ?* Mon épouse et moi sommes, ni photographes professionnels, ni scientifiques, ni vétérinaires. Nous voulions remercier le Gabon, nous ayant accueilli pendant plus de 35 ans dans le secteur de la grande distribution, en montrant sur TH-cam la diversité de la faune de ce beau pays et donner envie aux internautes de le visiter. Nos premières vidéos diffusées sur notre chaîne TH-cam montraient essentiellement des animaux sauvages "passant" devant les objectifs de nos caméras pièges équipées de détecteurs de mouvement : La marche d'un éléphant devant l'objectif d'un piège pendant une vingtaine de secondes n'est pas particulièrement intéressante. Par contre une vidéo de jeunes éléphants jouant dans une rivière pendant que les adultes étanchent leur soif est beaucoup plus agréable à regarder : th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html
*Pour trouver de tels "spots", il convient de s'éloigner du sentier emprunté par les quelques véhicules 4x4 de Nyonié (camp à 30 km de notre zone de piégeage), pour s'enfoncer plus profondément dans la forêt et remonter les rivières en marchant dans leur lit. Cela n’est pas sans danger surtout lorsque l’on est âgé.* Pour progresser plus facilement dans la forêt, les animaux utilisent le sentier des tout-terrains, sans lianes, sans buissons, sans ronces et sans arbres entremêlés au sol, suite aux très nombreuses tornades dans cette région à cheval sur la ligne de l’équateur. Alors, Il nous est venu l’idée de placer de très grands miroirs au bout d’une longue ligne droite afin d’attirer leur curiosité et de les « bloquer » devant leur reflet. Nous avons également placé d’autres miroirs sous des arbres dont nombreux animaux apprécient les fruits. A d’autres emplacements au milieu de la forêt, il eut fallu beaucoup de chance pour que les animaux croisent leur reflet !
Notre utilisation des miroirs a suscité un grand intérêt chez les primatologues, notamment les membres du PSG, non pas le club de football du Paris Saint Germain, mais le Primate Specialist Group (Groupe des spécialistes de primates), qui n'avaient étudié la reconnaissance de soi dans un miroir chez les grands singes que dans des laboratoires avec des animaux captifs ou nés en captivité, habitués au contact avec l'homme. Ces animaux, imitant parfois l'homme, n'avaient pas à chercher de nourriture, à défendre leur famille contre d'autres congénères et prédateurs, avaient donc des comportements déformés, très différents de ceux des primates vivant en toute liberté avec leur groupe ou leur famille dans une zone reculée de la forêt gabonaise. Nos caméras ont mis en évidence un comportement très particulier chez les chimpanzés de la région de Nyonié et cela ont donné lieu à une publication scientifique, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". Ce comportement est filmé sur nos trois vidéos suivantes :
th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Frottement de la croupe chez les chimpanzés = effet anti-stress ? Un comportement social jamais observé auparavant)
th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (des chimpanzés effrayés se rassurent avec des contacts de pseudo-copulation et de rump-to-rump devant le miroir)

On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. th-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/w-d-xo.html Elephant calves have fun during a creek crossing (Gabon jungle). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old and becoming partially deaf. Fortunately my wife has a very accurate hearing. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection.
Our use of mirrors has been of great interest to primatologists, including members of the PSG, not the Paris Saint Germain football club, but the Primate Specialists Group, who have only been able to study self-recognition in a mirror in great apes in laboratories with captive animals or animals born in captivity, used to contact with humans. These animals did not have to search for food, defend their families against other congeners and predators, sometimes imitating humans, and therefore had very different distorted behaviours from primates living in complete freedom with their group or family in a remote area of Gabon's forest. Our cameras have highlighted a very particular behaviour among chimpanzees in the Nyonié region and resulted in a scientific publication, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". On our two following videos this behavior is filmed: th-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/w-d-xo.html (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and th-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/w-d-xo.html (scared chimps reassure themselves with pseudo-copulation and rump-to-rump contacts front of mirror).
This is how, incidentally in wild animals, we discovered and became interested in their self-recognition in our large full length mirrors.

Much better without that stupid mirror
With my mirrors I break the monotony of the daily life of some animals in this remote area of the rain forest:
They are not imprisoned for life in pens or cages with the distraction of watching visitors standing behind their fences or bars, eating the food they have neither picked nor hunted as Harambe, born in captivity and dead 17 years later, still captive , killed by a bullet in his enclosure. They are not tied as dogs with leashes, locked as dog or cats in flats especially with dressing rooms equipped with a large mirror!
Look how happy these young gorillas are in front of these great mirrors!
