Animals Reaction to Mirror
Here's What Happens When Animals Look in the Mirror For the First Time
While we may use mirrors every day, animals aren't used to seeing their reflection — actually, they kind of hate it. In a video uploaded by Caters News Agency, animals take a look at their own reflections and have all types of different reactions to it. The mirror, set up by French photographer Xavier Hubert-Brierre in Gabon, Africa, was seen by a gorilla, elephant, leopard, and various monkeys.
Some casually approach the mirror, the gorilla and leopard get angry and try to attack their reflection, and the monkeys do what humans do — scratch themselves and see what it looks like. However, one animal couldn't care less; the elephant simply looked and kept going about its day. The video is already incredibly popular, surpassing 11 million views in just a few days.
