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

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 UA-cam channel you will know very interesting informations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle ua-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.

@@XHB06400CANNES I doubt that self-recognition isn't innate. Gotta remember that there are places in nature where human beings would have been able to see their reflections prior to mirrors bowing created, ergo the myth of Narcissus falling in love with himself when he saw his reflection in the water.

@@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."

The Elephants are bullies. My man is just checking himself out.
I like how at first they're ready to fight their reflection and by the end they're basically making out.

Did you like my 4-year-old video recommended by UA-cam? If so, on my side, I recommend that you watch our channel ua-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.
Elephants: we have a army
Leopard: i have a mirror
Leopard “I don’t like that guy BUT damn is he handsome “
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

His fur don't look like a jaguar ones but his sound is similar to the exhaust from a Jag V8. Listen to another leopard sound similar to the exhaust from a KTM bike that having trouble starting: a guttural sound (produced at the back of the throat) to invite females in heat for mating and to warn rival males to keep out, male leopards emit a repeated sequence of roars called "sawing", because it sounds like a wood plank being cut with a saw : ua-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/v-deo.html

@@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.
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 UA-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 UA-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. ua-cam.com/video/4XFgRkSaeTs/v-deo.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: ua-cam.com/video/ttMGcLrQ12E/v-deo.html (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and ua-cam.com/video/4vliTnJ7Olo/v-deo.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.

And that other leopard sound is ????? "sawing call", a guttural sound to invite females in heat and warn rival males to keep out: ua-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/v-deo.html Please do not forget to read the description attached to each of our 100 videos published on our channel ua-cam.com/users/XHB06400CANNESvideos
Did we all just get this as recommended
Yep
Yep
yes
😎🤔
Yes
The leopard was looking at the mirror like
“I feel like this guy gets me.”
Leopard casually checking itself out:
Elephants: *AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Most here are not interpreting this correctly. Cats cannot identify themselves in a mirror. This Leopard thought it was another cat, then realized it wasn't offensive (with a touch of confusion I would imagine) and then looked for affection from the mirror image. Elephants in fact CAN identify themselves in a mirror. Not many animals outside of humans can do this.
imagine the leopard starting beef with the elephants because he thinks he has another leopard helping him lol
That feeling when you're minding your own business, squaring off with your reflection, and 4 elephants run up on you.
That leopard instantly falls in love with himself. 🤩
In felines, lions are genetically programmed to live in a pride while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the group. 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 ua-cam.com/video/0zVJlesWW_s/v-deo.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 ua-cam.com/video/aYkF84-adOo/v-deo.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 ua-cam.com/video/taoJDXZQx5s/v-deo.html

Imagine sleeping alone in the jungle at night and hearing all those sounds around you in utter darkness....
That was the life of our ancestors
Bryson Contreras yes. terrifying existence amongst all of those wild mirrors
Leopard : 'So my next move is... wait, you already knew that? What about this... wow you are just like me!?'
Yare yare
This has to be the most fascinating and intriguing wildlife footage I've ever seen ! I could watch the leopards reactions all day 😍

In felines, lions are genetically programmed to live in a pride while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the pride. Leopard is lone animal. So this male leopard doesn't feel alone. He only wants to fight with a rival, an intruder in his territory who strangely has no smell! He dont search an odourless mate because to invite the females in heat, he just has to make a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain: ua-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/v-deo.html

"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.
Yawwwn yawwwn yawwwn
Blah blah blah
@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...

@@XHB06400CANNES - Thank you so much for the reply Xavier. Absolutely feel free to use any or all of it. I saw that my comment failed to resonate with a couple of people who gave me some big yawns. I deeply appreciate the work you, Annie-Marie and Michel perform and THEN going to the trouble to translate it into English...
that is alot of effort. Many thanks.
@@TheTibetyak Merci beaucoup for your help.
About time UA-cam gave me a good recommendation.
Elefant sound is actually the scariest sound ever
Imagine the Macedonian armies first encountar with the Indian War elephants!
It's like they are annoyed that they have to kill you now.
Listen to a big male deep sound, its sound scarier then bear behind you
Asian Elephant aren't the same than Africa Elephant. It's like dog and wolves.
They can be beaten with Chilis. Asian farmers put them out and when they sniff at them they avoid the area.
The leopard was enjoying the mirror I think, he was definitely fascinated by it 😂🐆😂 The poor elephants 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 were afraid of their own reflection, I love how they let known their arrival 🎺 what magnificent animals 💙🖤💙🖤💙
that Leopard must've been lonely for a while 😁
In felines, lions are genetically programmed to live in a pride while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the group.
So this leopard male doesn’t feel lonely. He doesn't have the need for companions. He only meets females during the mating season.

Listen to another leopard sound similar to that of a KTM bike that having trouble starting: a guttural sound (produced at the back of the throat) to invite females in heat for mating and to warn rival males to keep out, male leopards emit a repeated sequence of roars called "sawing", because it sounds like a wood plank being cut with a saw : ua-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/v-deo.html

I think the leopard likes himself.
Y’all are calling this cat a narcissist like he’s had this mirror forever. Let it enjoy itself lmao
is it that serious
Rochelle Reeid did the lmao imply seriousness 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I like how the elephants kick the leopard off of the mirror, only so they can run around + scream at it.
Elephants came in yellin "Gang Gang muffucka"
Those elephants just busted my eardrums
"OK there's 2 of us, I think we can take 'em."
"I love my self"

"Damn,I never knew I looked this good!".
Leopard: Finally, I won't be single anymore
In felines, if lions are programmed to live in large family groups (prides), leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. So this male leopard is a solitary and territorial animal. He doesn't feel alone and dont search an odourless mate. He doesn't need any friend. 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. 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:* ua-cam.com/video/RLus4bTWzfM/v-deo.html

And once more UA-cam recommendations algorithm brought us together
Did you like my 4-year-old video recommended by UA-cam? If so, on my side, I recommend that you watch our channel ua-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.
What a weird sentence
1:54 "It won't fight me, maybe it'll make out with me?!"
