In a remote area of the Gabonese forest, 12 km from the equator and 10 km from the Atlantic Ocean, outside a national park, Anne-Marie et Xavier Hubert-Brierre have been observing the reaction of wild animals as they catch sight of themselves in large mirrors (250cm x 120cm) with motion sensors camera traps the couple installed 9 years ago. This innovative idea attracted the attention of primatologists, behaviour specialists whose studies on self recognition have, until now, been carried out in laboratories, on wild animals in captivity who are accustomed to the presence of humans. Wild animals come and go as they please in front of our mirrors and stay as they like both day and night.
For humans self recognition is not immediate: in the case of the very young child a period of “mirror training” guided by the reassurance of the mother is necessary.
For wild animals who haven't had this mirror training, nor possess the use of language to guide and reassure their child, self recognition is much more difficult.
Let's take the example of a gorillas family: Adult males see their reflection as a stranger come to seize his females. Young animals, on the other hand, see their reflection as a friend and companion. They don't hesitate to touch the surface of the mirror or reach behind the mirror in an effort to touch the image. Rebekah, a young student of Professor Jim Anderson, of the University of Sterling in Scotland, concluded her researched, based on our videos of a young male gorilla in front of our mirrors by stating, “this gorilla has demonstrated the ability to recognise himself.” Translated by Robin Alcorn
In felines, while lions are programmed to live in large family groups (pride), male leopards are genetically programmed to live alone, to live without any female (except during mating periods) and without their own offspring and therefore to be single throughout his life. So this male leopard is a solitary and territorial animal. He occupies a territory that overlaps a few smaller female territories. He doesn't feel alone and dont search an odourless mate. He doesn't need any friend, any lifepartner. These mirrors break a certain sameness in his life in the rain forest. Front of them This male leopard behaviour changes from one minute to the next, of desire for company, of desire to fight with a rival, an intruder in his territory who strangely has no smell and is mute. This leopard was clearly drawn to and interested in the mirror, rubs himself on the mirror because may be a female leopard in estrus did it earlier leaving her scent? He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he emits a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain: • Leopard’s sawing call,...
For leopard fanatics, (Panthera pardus and not Panthera onca (jaguar) only found on the American continent where no elephants are found on this continent) I publish a 19-minutes long video containing all the leopard's trap camera shots (assembled end to end) in front of this mirror from 13 PM before his meeting with elephants, during the face to face and after until he left the mirror at 23PM

Anpadh .. this is jaguar not leopard
@@RajeshSharma-ks1vb If you click on "see more" at the top and read through the description of the video, you will see that it is a leopard. "For leopard fanatics, (Panthera pardus) and not Panthera onca (jaguar) only found on the American continent where no elephants are found on this continent)." This video was made in Gabon, which is in Africa, and jaguars (the big cats, not the sports cars that they inspired) are found in South America. In response to someone else, the scientist added, "The jaguar looks like a leopard, but it is more massive and has a wider head. Its tail is shorter. The spots (rosettes or eye-spots) on its coat are not completely empty because there are small black spots inside. In the leopard these black-edged spots are empty on the inside and only very exceptionally contain a black point."

Leopard: “This guy knows my every move. A worthy opponent.”
“Oh sh*t elephants. I’ll come back for this lil multiverse motherf*cka later.”
Haha! It is always so crazy every time we see big big African cat be scared of anything - it’s easy to forget that they can still get f’d up by certain animals too.

Elephants must put the fear in other animals.
"My god. His stance is perfect. There are no openings, just layers of feints upon feints. This guy is dangerous."
*starts kissing his own reflection*
I totally understand that leopard. What could be more beautiful than me.
The big cat looks like it's only a few steps from acquiring self-recognition.
*In animals as in humans, self recognition in a mirror is not innate. It is the result of the more comfortable training in the mirror at home among young humans in the company of their parents who have done this training and who have the words to explain to their young child the properties of the mirror. Among primates, éléphants and felids, in the insecurity of the jungle learning with his parents who have not done this and who do not speak, this is much more difficult even for intelligent individuals.* *To date: only Humans, Orangutans, Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas (blackback), Rhesus Macaques, Bottlenose Dolphins, Asian Elephants, Orcas, Grey parrots (African/Gabon grey Parrots) and Magpies have shown the ability to recognize their own reflections after an even long training in the mirror for some ones.*
Three asian elephants in captivity at the Bronx Zoo in New York were standing in front of an huge mirror with each one two crosses just been drawn on their forehead. A white cross and a colorless cross. A only one named Happy, has touched with her trunk repeatedly the painted white cross but ignored the other colorless painted cross. The test failed with the other two. *No African elephant has so far passed the self recognition test in a mirror. No cat as leopard, tiger or homecat, no dog passed this test.* Please read the description attached to each of my 160 videos published on my TH-cam channel you will know very interesting informations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle th-cam.com/users/XHB06400CANNESvideos
i think the leopard was lonely and finally saw one of his kind or atleast thought it was a different leopard and try to play. I only say this because leopards are endangered and rarely in big packs.

This is like the Albert Einstein of jungle cats trying to figure out how this works and you call him a narcissist. You're the one that put the mirror there.
You must be fun to hang out with
This ain't that deep bruv 💀💀
@@han_xiao4280 can't it be both?
It's funny that the big jungle ultra killer cat does funny things with the mirror.
It's also pretty interesting that the elephants didn't seem to care at all, when they're touted as having great memories, sense of space, and emotional connections to other animals. Do they just not care as they recognize it as probably useless? Do they understand it's a reflection like water? Then this cat is just completely enthralled, probably because it isn't as smart as the elephants. Does it stress it thinking there's a competitor? Does it understand that it's a reflection eventually?
It's fascinating on a deeper level. Things can be silly and interesting. You should never hate on curiosity, or miss a chance to chuckle.
The Elephants are bullies. My man is just checking himself out.
that leopard in the beginning was like, how this dude know all my moves?
😃😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
That's exactly what I said when I saw this lmao
everyone in the comments complaining about the mirror stressing out the animals and being cruel is overreacting
these animals arent stupid, after 30 minutes of posturing and slapping the mirror they will realize its no threat and go about their day like any other new, strange thing. ( ex: trash or pollution, which is a much more pressing matter than mirrors in the forest
they are not confined to the 10ft shot of the camera nor are the animals forced to walk infront of this mirror.
There are many other videos of animals peacefully admiring themselves in the mirror in their free time too.
I’m a huge animal lover and you are completely right this is a choice for them to explore the mirror think outside the box for a lil bit then there all on there way unharmed and happy to be free
That feeling when you're minding your own business, squaring off with your reflection, and 4 elephants run up on you.
I like how at first they're ready to fight their reflection and by the end they're basically making out.
Imagine how much simpler life would be if we could asexually procreate.
Elephants: we have a army
Leopard: i have a mirror
Leopard: good they left, now back to more important things, like myself
I just love the idea of animals being so confused how their enemy in the mirror is prediction and countering every single move they make.
In his defense, he is quite a beautiful leopard.

the leopard: "Mirror mirror on the ground, am I the most fearsome beast all around?" :)
The elephant: no I'm the most handsome beast around
This is the prime form of entertainment for me as it seems i fell in a huge rabbit hole of animals looking at their reflections ngl
Same atm
The leopard was looking at the mirror like
“I feel like this guy gets me.”
This leopard reminds me of people at my local gym. They spend more time looking at their reflection than doing bloody exercise.
ROFLMAO
"Confused"! "Upset"! "Stressed out"! "Poor animals"! Come on people. These animals encounter other opponents in the jungle constantly. And those opponents (or prey) have actual claws, fangs, tusks, and horns to fight back with and shed blood. They fight or they flee or both. My gosh, they fight amongst themselves within their own herds and prides regardless of species for food, status and territory and one or both might die in those encounters. Now that would be real stress. I am betting not one creature in all these years of study have fought their mirror image to the death attempting to establish dominance. And I'm absolutely sure none of them retreated to call a therapist to say they've been emotionally traumatized by their strange confrontation. Humans are the species that look in the mirror everyday and fail to recognize themselves or are dissatisfied with the image looking back. Humans are the species with REAL meltdowns in front of their mirrors. Poor humans. Good job Xavier.

@TheTibetyak *_WHAT A BIG COMMENT! Its content, perfectly written, is a great help against all the opponents of our mirrors._* Do you allow me to use it to reply to their next comment?
Its a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me. 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 trap cameras facing huge mirrors set up in a remote area of the Gabonese virgin forest and collect their memory card. Then we do the editing with for each one a description in English which is not our native language 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...

Did you like my 4-year-old video recommended by TH-cam? If so, on my side, I recommend that you watch our channel th-cam.com/users/XHB06400CANNESvideos (38 million views, 53,000 subscribers) with more than 120 videos (including 24 videos with more than 100,000 views each and one video with more than 12.9 million views), videos made and edited by me. With my wife and a friend Michel, we installed six large mirrors in a remote area of the Gabonese forest. In this uncontrolled and natural environment, multiple cameras were placed in front of each mirror to be able to film the animals' reactions to their reflection from different angles and at different distances. After each viewing, don't forget to click on the "show more" option, I attach a description to each of our videos to learn more about how animals react to their own reflection in mirrors placed in their jungle. I would like to point out that these wild animals, in complete freedom (neither in a zoo nor in an animal reserve), can go to these mirrors, as they see fit and stay in front, as long as they wish.

I was walking on one of the trails when I heard someone weed eating with a gas trimmer. I thought who is weed eating so far out here.
Then I saw her a mother linx with about 4 young.
I swear she sounded like a gas weedeater when she growled needless to say I backed out of there keeping an eye on Mom. Biggest cat I ever seen

That initial shriek of the elephant is straight out of a horror movie. It scared me a lot.
Multiplied by the fact that the constant menacing low growl of the cat builds up enough tension beforehand!

Leopard is lone animal. His behaviour changes from one minute to the next, from contemplation of his reflection, from a desire for company to a desire to fight with a rival and then to a desire to mate. He can even spend the night in front of a mirror by checking from time to time for the presence of his reflection in the mirror.
At that time this leopard is still in love with himself: watch this video th-cam.com/video/0zVJlesWW_s/w-d-xo.html on which the time stamp mentions the recent date of 04/17/2019 (In the Gabon jungle, a leopard in love with his reflection stays stuck to the mirror for 3 full days).
For leopard fanatics, I publish a 19-minutes long video containing all the leopard's trap camera shots (assembled end to end) in front of this mirror from 13 PM before his meeting with elephants, during the face to face and after until he left the mirror at 23PM th-cam.com/video/aYkF84-adOo/w-d-xo.html
Also a second short version taken by another trap camera of a different brands and under slightly different angle of view, have already been published th-cam.com/video/taoJDXZQx5s/w-d-xo.html

The leopard can't decide whether it should fight the reflection or make love to it!!
*To invite females in heat for mating and to warn rival males to keep out, male leopards emit a repeated sequence of roars, guttural sounds (produced at the back of the throat) called "sawing" because it sounds like a wood plank being cut with a saw:* th-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/w-d-xo.html

@@balajiedlyngdoh8366 *_A comment like yours 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..

Man, elephants are scary...
yes....😵
Leopard: "Damn!!! look at em muscles."
Elephants: "Get that bastard!! he killed one of ours."
Seems like some animals would experience the same issue when seeing their reflection in a pond drinking water.
right. Also, our family has had lots of dog and cat pets through the years. There is zero behavior like these wild animals when our pets see their reflection in the mirror. They're not stupid.
What comes to mind is the difference in intellectual potential in members of remote tribes people (in South America, in Africa, etc) and that of humans in modern societies.
I'm wondering if throughout the long history of domesticated cats and canines, they are intellectually advanced from their 'provincial' relatives in the jungles.
I've never had a cat or dog NOT know they were looking at themselves in the mirror.
And the point you make that they should already understand a mirrored reflection due to reflection in water is spot on. It's not clear to me why the change in orientation from horizontal reflection (water) to vertical orientation (mirror) could make such a difference.
And beyond that, since these animals have a high reliance on their sense of smell, it's not clear why the lack of scent from the 'animal in the mirror' fails to inform them that there is no animal there.
interesting that the Leopard's mind was so blown he had to come back for seconds..........

In felids, lions are genetically programmed to live in large family groups (prides), while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. So this male leopard doesn't feel alone. He doesn't need any companions. He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he makes a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain: th-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/w-d-xo.html

He seems to have fallen in love with his own reflection. Apparently has not read the Ancient Greek tale of narcissus.
What is the story of Narcissus?
A young man of Greek mythology, gifted with great beauty. Driven by thirst, Narcissus caught his reflection in the water of a spring and fell in love with it; he let himself die of languor; the flower that grew on the spot where he died bears his name.
*In felines, while lions are programmed to live in large family groups (pride), male leopards are genetically programmed to live alone, to live without any female (except during mating periods) and without their own offspring and therefore to be single throughout his life. So this male leopard is a solitary and territorial animal. He occupies a territory that overlaps a few smaller female territories. He doesn't feel alone and dont search an odourless mate. He doesn't need any friend, any lifepartner. These mirrors break a certain sameness in his life in the rain forest. Front of them This male leopard behaviour changes from one minute to the next, of desire for company, of desire to fight with a rival, an intruder in his territory who strangely has no smell and is mute. Or maybe this male rubs himself on the mirror because a female leopard in estrus did it earlier leaving her scent? He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he emits a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain:* th-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/w-d-xo.html

I love how the leopard is trying to understand the magic behind the mirror
1:42 Leopard: “I’m too sexy for my paws, too sexy for my print, too sexy babaaay…”
Leopard got a spiritual experience.
Whoever carried a mirror and camera into the jungle with all those animals has some balls i would be scared shitless
In the jungle I am always accompanied by my wife Anne-Marie because I have difficulties hearing and she has a very good hearing to detecting the presence of animals and she also has as you say *_some balls._* 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. 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 mirrors.

@@XHB06400CANNES doesn't get the joke
I remember being a toddler and getting scared of a full body mirror I actually thought it was another toddler looking back at me and I remember it taking time touching and trying to grab and having my every move copied before I realized it was me. I can relate to the jaguar. Just imagine if a fully grown adult human never saw their reflection I'm thinking it would be just as funny to see
*I saw a scene where white explorers meeting a Papuan tribe shot a polaroid photo of a man and a woman side by side: Both of them recognized the other and didn't want to admit to being the second person in the photo because each didn't know what he looked like, having never seen himself!*
*In the following video **th-cam.com/video/cG87HaiO9Ys/w-d-xo.html** , an excerpt from the report of the French director Jean-Pierre Dutilleux on a first contact with the Toulambis tribe in Papua New Guinea shows adult dads who were afraid to see themselves in a mirror, but who after a few minutes understood the reflective properties of this object. Compared to the silverback gorilla alone facing his reflection in a very large mirror, avoiding direct eye contact with it, or with a chimpanzee group all together front of a mirror, it was easier for these Papuans, endowed with speech, standing in the middle of their quiet tribe, in front of a very small mirror with a white one that shows its reflective property, to understand, their reflection through the comments of other tribe members.* Check out more of my 180 homemade videos from my channel and don't forget to read the description attached to each of them, you will find very interesting information. th-cam.com/users/XHB06400CANNESvideos Good vision!
Don’t forget that this is their first time seeing themselves
*This is not the first time that they see themselves in one of our 6 huge mirrors installed with my wife in their domain:* th-cam.com/video/iasuxLw3Et0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5i9sWw_Ll08/w-d-xo.html
In the case of this Elephant family, each time they meet, they are surprised to find that their congeners are very quiet, because they have neither heard them previously, nor smelled their odors before. Moreover, they are confused to see that they look like each member of their family with a stranger they have never seen (their own image).
In the case of the leopard, he is surprised to find that this unknown congener responds exactly the same way to his attacks, does not emit any growl and finally smells his own male odor but also with an old odor of female leopard in heat (probably this female had tried to seduce her reflection in the previous days th-cam.com/video/1dCiWCUdob8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NHb8isAQ214/w-d-xo.html and the daily storms had not completely wipe out the traces of slime and coat fat left by rubbing on the reflective surface?)
In humans, the self-recognition in a mirror is not innate. It is the result of a learning process carried out by very young humans during numerous exposures to the mirror in the quiet of their home in the company of their parents who also learned about the mirror when they were children. In animals, this recognition is also not innate, the parents not having the speech to reassure their offspring, did not make this learning beforehand and the surroundings of the forest is dangerous.
Finally, not all animals, even after numerous exposures to mirrors, have the cognitive capacities to recognize themselves in a mirror. This is the case of the leopard and the African elephant. Little by little, due to a lack of understanding of the reflective properties of mirrors, and having noticed that silent, odorless congeners do not present any danger, they will no longer pay the slightest attention to them.
