a young male gorilla takes his mirror training seriously (unlike his family - 45 min long version)

Anne-Marie, Xavier HUBERT-BRIERRE and their friend Michel GUISS DJOMOU installed six large mirrors in the Gabonese jungle near Nyonié in order to film the reaction of wild animals from different angles as they encounter their reflection.
Members of a gorilla family from this jungle come and go as they please in front of these mirrors. Just as in humans, self- recognition in primates is not an innate ability. The ability to recognise one’s own reflection is the result of a training process that little by little allows the human, or primate to understand the mirror’s properties:
Among young humans, this training is easier at home, 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. This learning in the mirror can last several weeks and it is only around the age of 2 years that the young human understands that in the mirror it is not a play partner who makes the same movements as he does. If, without him noticing, his mother puts a lipstick mark on his forehead and places him in front of the mirror, discovering this mark on his reflection, he will then put his hand on his own forehead. He will have passed the mirror test.
Among gorillas, 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. This young gorilla wants to understand the mirror's secret. He attempts to get to known this never before seen gorilla who copies its every movement. He approches the stranger, the stranger approches as well, when he tries to touch this newcomer, the newcomer also reaches out its hand but its fingers are met with a cold, flat surface rather than the warm touch the gorilla was expecting. For this reason, he checks if this other young gorilla would not be behind the mirror. He tries to press its lips against the stranger or lick its face the result is the same, once again the gorilla encounters this cold, hard surface.
The silverback considers his reflection, has come into his territory in order to steal his females. Being a non-violent he does not wish to trigger a direct confrontation and therefore he avoids looking at this intruder directly in the eyes (act of defiance in silverbacks).

Anne-Marie, Xavier HUBERT-BRIERRE et leur ami Michel GUISS DJOMOU ont installé six grands miroirs dans la jungle Gabonaise près de Nyonié afin de filmer la réaction des animaux sauvages sous différents angles lorsqu'ils rencontrent leur réflexion.
Les membres d'une famille de gorilles vont et viennent à leur guise devant ces miroirs. Tout comme chez les humains, la reconnaissance de soi chez les primates n'est pas innée. La capacité à reconnaître sa propre réflexion est le résultat d'un apprentissage qui permettra, peu à peu à l'homme, ou primate, de comprendre les propriétés du miroir :
Chez les jeunes humains, cette « formation au miroir » est plus facile à la maison, en compagnie de leurs parents qui ont suivi cette formation et qui ont les mots pour expliquer à leur jeune enfant, les propriétés du miroir. Cet apprentissage dans le miroir peut durer plusieurs semaines et ce n'est que vers l'âge de 2 ans que le jeune humain comprend que dans le miroir ce n'est pas un partenaire de jeu qui refait les mêmes mouvements que lui. Si, sans qu'il s'en aperçoive, sa mère lui met une marque de rouge à lèvres sur le front et le place devant le miroir, découvrant cette marque sur son reflet, il mettra alors sa main sur son propre front. Il aura réussi le test du miroir.
Chez les gorilles, dans l'insécurité de la jungle, apprendre avec ses parents qui n’ont pas fait cet apprentissage et qui ne parlent pas, c'est beaucoup plus difficile même pour des individus intelligents. Ce jeune gorille voudrait comprendre le secret du miroir. Il tente de comprendre pourquoi ce gorille, qu’il n’a jamais rencontré auparavant, copie chacun de ses mouvements. S’il s’approche de cet étranger, celui-ci se rapproche aussi de lui. Quand il essaie de toucher ce nouveau venu, le nouveau venu tend aussi la main mais ses doigts heurtent une surface froide et plate et non le contact chaud d’une main. Pour cette raison, il vérifie si cet autre jeune gorille ne serait pas derrière le miroir. S’il pose ses lèvres contre celles de l'étranger ou s’il lui lèche le visage, le résultat est le même, une fois de plus le gorille rencontre cette surface froide et dure.
Le dos argenté, primate non violent, considère que son reflet est venu sur son territoire pour voler ses femelles. Il ne souhaite pas déclencher une confrontation directe et évite de le regarder directement dans les yeux, comportement considéré comme un acte de défi chez les dos argenté.

[@matthuckabey007]

Not only does he seem to be grasping the concept of his reflection but it would almost appear that he views the camera as somehow being involved.

[@vwiggins9797]

He keeps looking in the direction of the camera

[@Odo55]

He is so dear. He really wants to touch and feel that guy who is copying him. I feel sad for him as he seems like he would be a great friend and there's no one else to share this with. He keeps looking for him to show up and be real and grasp his hand.

[@Darkchild547]

[@Japanology]

Not a fast learner, but his curiosity is extraordinary.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Yes the avoidance of eye contact must be kind of frustrating because every single time he tries to sneak a look, his reflection is looking back. Even when close enough and looking in his own mouth he tends to avoid the eyes. Too much eye contact and the instinct to beat his chest takes over. It does seem to change a bit over time that maybe he is catching on that he is watching himself as he seems (to me) to run away a little less and less distance after the chest thumping as the video progresses... As if he's more aware he is watching himself. Great video.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Thank you for this great comment to my loyal subscriber.

[@mrbravo7624]

At 24:40 it's almost like he's trying to make a connection between the camera and the mirror

[@XHB06400CANNES]

He has immediatly noticed around the mirror of security camera boxes because he has never seen such cubic objects in his jungle where nothing is square. But he doesn't know that they record videos and he doesn't even know what a video can be! Thanks for watching my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGXKg4qEhp2pftk In their jungle, mammals spot immediately our camera traps (Gabon). Watch my 160 other homemade videos on the channel and don't forget to read the attached description each time. You will learn very important information: kzbin.infovideos

[@mesofius]

I noticed that too. He may not realize what a camera is, but he does realize that these two futuristic objects are somehow related. The way he is studying both objects is similar, I think, to how we would act if we encountered alien technology beyond our understanding.

[@SloppyPizza]

I really appreciate your videos, they are very interesting to watch. I've never seen gorillas in real life and it's fascinating to see them in their natural habitat. Last time I just played video in the background, because ambience sounds very relaxing.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

A comment like yours is comforting; - after reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors, - after my wife and I have spent days alone in the Gabonese forest to maintain our mirrors and many photographic traps, change memory cards, batteries, clean lenses, remove fallen branches in their field of vision, walk up the creek beds to find areas where the animals cross to install new traps etc... Soaked by tornadoes, the body is covered with insect bites of all kinds (horse flies, gorilla flies, tsetse flies, black ants, magnan ants etc.) and unfortunately the number of cameras refusing to work is increasing due to the 95% humidity level. Then, back in the camp, we do the editing with for each video 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... It's a choice. Thank you.

[@watrgrl2]

I noticed he mostly avoids directly staring the reflection in the eyes which, for many animal species, is used as a threat. This would seem to indicate that he still thinks this other male is separate from himself. I would say as long as he is using behaviors that are used with others of his species that he doesn’t yet recognize this other male as a reflection of himself.

[@ronnie-being-ronnie]

I think it is more telling when they do overcome their instinctual/trained behaviors. I’m betting they don’t press their faces to other males normally.

[@813lem]

except for that part where he licks himself in the mirror. im not an expert but im thinking that isnt a normal blackback greeting. and keeps looking to make sure no one is watching before drumming

[@tinkmarshino]

I notice that he looks towards the camera several times from several different positions.. I wonder if he has that feeling we humans get of someone watching but sees no one? Or do they just look to there right more than they look to there left.. Wonderful!! Say guys how long does it take for an ape to realize it is a reflection? It sure looked like he was having some fun training today though.. thanks a lot for sharing your work with us.. I find it intriguing.. carry on and be safe..

[@XHB06400CANNES]

He can see around the mirror of security camera boxes. He has noticed them because he has not seen such cubic objects in his jungle where nothing is square. On the other hand he doesn't know that they record videos and he doesn't even know what a video can be! Thanks for watching my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGXKg4qEhp2pftk In their jungle, mammals spot immediately our camera traps (Gabon).The attitudes of females towards their reflection, which they do not know, are not aggressive because females used to share a male (silverback in gorillas) or several males (silverbacks or dominant males or alpha males in chimpanzees) do not know jealousy and are therefore not angry to discover the arrival of a female stranger (their own reflection). The children (gorillas or chimpanzees) are happy to see a new playmate. Also mirror learning outside the presence of dominant males can be done in a calm and progressive way in gorillas as in chimpanzees. On the other hand for the silverback gorilla this learning cannot be done because he avoids looking at his reflection so as not to challenge it. When several alpha chimpanzees are in front of a mirror, each of them recognizes their neighbors but also notices the presence of a stranger that he has never seen and who comes to share their females. Each of them wanting to prove their dominant status will try to chase this intruder away. The rest of the group, in the trees perched around in the trees, screaming to irritate their dominants. On the other hand a dominant male alone in front of his reflection is very calm and learns his lesson by discovering this stranger. However, his attitude will completely change if another chimpanzee approaches the mirror. Please watch my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHmZqnSkmp1rf6c

@@XHB06400CANNES That is very interesting.. I have seen all of you ape videos (some a number of times) as I have been watching for some time now and ape behaviour is very fascinating to me.. Have you and your co-workers written any books on ape behaviour? ( can I find them in english) Also through what journals do you publish your findings in? I am very interested in your work there.. I know you have worked in that region for a long time but I do not know how long. I know it is hard and demanding work.. but you are luck in the fact that you get to work with these magnificent creatures.. thank you for your response.

@@tinkmarshino *We have not written any books on ape behaviour.* My wife and I are French born in Africa (Congo Brazzaville and Sénégal). We went to school in Africa and did our higher studies in France and then all our professional career, first in West Africa (Niger 2 years, Senegal 2 years, Ivory Cost 8 years) and then in Gabon. For twelve years we have been retired in Cannes (France) and regularly return to Nyonié for the maintenance of mirrors and cameras. We are neither scientists nor veterinarians nor primatologists nor photographers. We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years, to show on KZbin the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it. Our first videos posted on our KZbin 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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zQgXWiabODrJo (In Gabon front of trap cameras, elephants crossing Ndouni River). 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect?

I have been watching your movies for many years now and have seen most of them and find it hard that you just did that to show the beauty of africa.. They are fabulous! I have always been interested in ape behaviour. I am a creationist but still am amazed at how "human" they can act at times.. Well my friend enjoy the south of france.. I would love to take a walk along the many docks there and look at all of those big yachts .. Plus I am a big fisherman and think it would be nice to have a little boat to fish out there.. and make runs in the ferries just for fun...

[@Y2bst]

This gorilla has formed a significant part of his existence and survival based on reflections and social relationships as a member of his herd. The reflections of the herd or it’s members have been at most only moderately predictable from the perspective of the individual, but suddenly a representative of a fellow species who reacts, responds to, and behaves in exactly the same way to his emotions, body feedback, movements, sounds, looks, etc. appears on the scene. The experience arouses such great curiosity that even the largely refined and profound primacy of encounters, defenses, and fighting reactions are replaced by the glorification of the mirror image. The previous herd-reflective notion of existence is increasingly challenged by interest in mirror image reflection and its adoption.

Merci pour cet agréable commentaire. La confection d'un miroir et son installation kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKHIdoCKobeYh9k ou kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWnYqKkaa1sqdU ou kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5vbqImdqtGSoq8 ne prennent pas énormément de temps. Cependant son entretien kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3zQqaahpbqonZY doit être hebdomadaire car les panthères se frottent contre leur reflet et recouvrent les miroirs de la graisse qui protège leur fourrure et de l’importante bave qu'ils produisent en raison de leur incompréhension du miroir. Enfin dans un environnement équatorial où la saison de des pluies dure 9 mois par an avec des orages quasi quotidiens, leur cadre et ses pieds et contreforts, leur dos en contreplaqué bien qu'à usage marin, souffrent énormément d’une part, de l'humidité permanente (taux +95%) et d’autre part de l'attaque des termites. En moyenne mes 6 miroirs doivent être totalement remplacés tous les 12/18 mois. Les plaques réfléchissantes ne peuvent pas être conservées car l'humidité altère leur tain et des tâches apparaissent rendant plus difficile aux primates l'observations de leur reflet. Si un miroir synthétique est parfaitement utilisable dans un appartement, en revanche dans la forêt, les différents points de lumière créés par le soleil à travers la canopée, produisent de faux reflets dans les miroirs. De plus le miroir synthétique ne reste pas parfaitement collé au contreplaqué où il est adossé et rapidement les reflets deviennent des images déformées. N'oubliez pas de lire la description jointe à chacune de nos 160 vidéos publiées sur notre chaîne kzbin.infovideos Merci de regarder sur KZbin une vidéo, maintes fois copiée, avec des lions/lions devant un miroir synthétique filmée dans le parc du Serengeti : Que pensez-vous de leurs reflets si ces félins ne sont pas près du miroir ?

Tusks have succeeded in break the glass, but no shard of glass came off the plywood where it is securely bonded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWnYqKkaa1sqdU But my mirrors are not designed to be placed flat on the ground, the frame resting each day in a pool of water due to daily storms and not designed to withstand the weight of the elephants passing over it.

The tiger that lost its paw , it seems that when he came back to the mirror the first times , I think he felt he needed that.. like he missed the mirror.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

The leopard, whose fur is marked with rosettes, and the tiger, whose red fur is redhead with black stripes, cannot be confused. If you had read the title of my video and its attached description, you would not have used the word "tiger" in your comment because it says that the video was filmed in Gabon (Africa) and that the cat is a leopard (Panthera pardus) and not a tiger (Panthera tigris) which is only found in all of Asia. 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 solitary and territorial animal. So this male leopard doesn't feel alone. 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 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3YpGeYibytnK8 On our KZbin channel kzbin.infovideos are published more than 160 videos captured by our trap cameras fixed in the Gabon jungle.

I admire your work and am very intrigued by your findings as gorillas are my favorite animals. I find your detailed descriptions extremely enlightening. I’d highly appreciate your reply to a few questions: (1) Have you drawn definitive conclusions whether any young gorillas have learned to recognize themselves in the mirror? (2) Your other videos show that silverbacks cannot learn this self recognition by the fact that over 10 years they still think the reflections are other invading silverbacks. However, over the years have you seen any young ones who learned self recognition and later grew up into silverbacks that keep the ability to self recognize? (3) Human babies learn mirror self-recognition from their parents, but older gorillas cannot teach their young this ability as the older ones simply do not understand the properties of mirrors, any chance the young ones can teach this to the older ones? And how? (4) It seems that apes have the innate ability to recognize distance (far vs. near) and quantity (more vs. less), the gorilla obviously can see the reflection gets bigger as it walks closer to the mirror (and smaller as it walks further away). Similarly, they can see more gorillas in the mirror when other members of the troop approach the mirror. So what exactly is hindering them from making the connection between the reflection images and themselves?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

(1) This seems to be the case in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS2gpdnpMSlZpI (2) The silverback in whose domain my mirrors are planted, seemed to be able to look directly at his reflection in the eyes and thus begin his mirror learning but this did not last and he is hesitant to look at his reflection again kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX6mgnt_lqh6pq8 Young gorillas, whose reactions to my mirrors were filmed 10 years ago by my cameras, have not yet had time to leave their birth family except kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXmZY2Cio5Vmf5Y to try to seduce females who have also left their respective birth groups and this to found a group outside their birth domain and therefore outside the view of my cameras. (3) I had this hope but it has not yet come true kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPFmGacdqplibc (4) I am incompetent to answer you because I am not a primatologist and see the history of our mirrors: 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 KZbin the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it. Our first videos posted on our KZbin 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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aompmIWhiMaYitU 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfPmoekf5yCotE (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.

This is interesting. Apes clearly can recognize their reflection. Although young humans who see themselves for the first time react differently. Apes are *constantly* going back behind the mirror to check what's there. I've *never* seen a human do that. Humans accept facts, remember them, and then build on them. Like language.

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

but humans see themselves in mirrors from a very early age, whereas these are adults who have never seen a mirror. Other vidoes show that large primates, and elephants do learn that the image is them, and accept that fact. then use the mirror to inspect themselves where they cannot otherwise see.

[@TheNameOfJesus]

@@alexanderSydneyOz Fair point, but it's hard to tell how old an animal is from its size. For example, a horse reaches full size in about one year. And although apes can live 40 years in captivity, (with good food and medical care) I'd be surprised if they live anywhere near that long in the wild. In fact the title of this video calls this ape "young". So my comparison between this "young ape" and a young human child seems fair. I was basing my comments on the title of the video. Maybe you are right, that the title is misleading - this could be an "adult" as you say.

It’s not anywhere as interesting. Humans evolved to manipulate unfamiliar environments, and eventually develop sophisticated systems for thinking about unfamiliar things. Humans tend to either develop superstitions about new things, or else integrate them into the familiar. Or both. Ie, a human encountering a strange new object made of cloth, is likely to start thinking quickly about how it can be used. They’ll simultaneously start noticing anything new or unusual that coincides with the appearance of the object. They might then decide that the object caused the event in question (either good or bad). That’s not ALWAYS good btw. We’re exceptionally good at making completely wrong and destructive associations.

they see there reflection everytime they drink water and doesnt even faze them maybe it will if you put it on the ground with water on top

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Have you been successful in clearly recognizing your own image clearly by leaning over a pool, a puddle of rain water, in a pond ? Maybe just your shade on a sunny day? On the water's surface its own image cannot be reflected perpendicularly but laterally. For this reason your neighbour, under some light conditions and some quality from the bottom of the pond, can see distinctly your face but not his own. Thus, an animal cannot clearly see itself in a pond or a puddle and therefore, it cannot learn in the mirror because for it as well as for humans, self recognition in a mirror is not innate.

I posted a video showing resistance of my mirrors to blows given by a very angry elephant. Tusks have succeeded in break the glass, but no shard of glass came off the plywood where it is securely bonded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWnYqKkaa1sqdU But my mirrors are not designed to be placed flat on the ground, the frame resting each day in a pool of water due to daily storms and not designed to withstand the weight of the elephants passing over it. Moreover, what is the point of putting a mirror on the floor when its purpose is to attract the curiosity of the animals and not to discover its existence by trampling on it?

Мы не ученые, не ветеринары и не приматологи. Мы хотели поблагодарить Габон, который более 35 лет принимает нашу семью, чтобы показать на KZbin разнообразие фауны этой прекрасной страны и заставить интернет-пользователей захотеть посетить ее. Наши первые видеоматериалы, размещенные на нашем канале KZbin, по сути, показывали "прохождение" дикой природы перед объективами наших ловушек, оснащенных детекторами движения: Прохождение слона перед объективом ловушки в течение примерно двадцати секунд не представляет особого интереса. С другой стороны, гораздо приятнее смотреть видео, на котором молодые слоны играют в реке, в то время как взрослые утоляют жажду. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zQgXWiabODrJo (В Габоне перед капканами слоны переправляются через реку Ндуни). Чтобы найти такие "пятна", желательно уйти подальше от тропы, по которой ездят несколько машин с колесной формулой 4х4 Ньони, углубиться в лес и прогуляться по руслам ручьев и маленьких рек. Это небезопасно, особенно в старости. Чтобы легче прогрессировать в лесу, животные используют эту внедорожную тропу, без виноградных лоз, кустарников, бродяг и деревьев, смешанных на земле из-за очень многочисленных торнадо в этом регионе на линии экватора. Мы пришли к идее разместить очень большие зеркала в конце длинной прямой линии бездорожья, чтобы поймать их взгляд и "заблокировать" их перед изображением. Мы также разместили другие зеркала под деревьями, где многочисленные животные ценят плоды. В других местах посреди леса животным очень повезло бы встретить свое отражение.

What is the goal of mirror training?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

*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 KZbin channel you will know very interesting informations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle kzbin.infovideos

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 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]

Ein erwachsener Mensch, der zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben einem Spiegel gegenübersteht, ohne seine Eigenschaften und sogar seine Existenz zu kennen, würde sich auch irrational verhalten. Nur die Unkenntnis des Spiegels lässt ihn so reagieren. Bei Menschen über 2 Jahren erkennen sie sich nach dem Lernen im Spiegel mit ihren Eltern in ihrem Spiegelbild. Im Silverback (dominanten männlichen Gorilla) ist dieses Lernen viel schwieriger, weil : - Er wird nicht von seinen Eltern geholfen. - es erhält keine Erklärungen über die Reflexionseigenschaften des Spiegels - Er war seit seiner Kindheit keinen Spiegeln ausgesetzt. Familienoberhaupt eines Dutzend Familienangehöriger, Frauen und Kinder, dieser Silberrücken muss sie vor den Gefahren schützen. Konfrontiert mit dem Bild eines Gorillas, den er noch nie zuvor gesehen hat (er selbst), der sein Gebiet betreten hat, um einige seiner Weibchen zu rauben, hat er nur die Idee, ihn zur Flucht zu zwingen, indem er ihn zu erschreckend macht. Pazifist, er kann nicht einen andere Silverback gerade in die Augen sehen, Zeichen der Einladung zum Kampf in diesen Primaten. In zweibeiniger Haltung, um seine Grosse zu zeigen, und durch seitliche Rassen or durch Schläge auf den Bodenversucht er, dieses Spiegelbild wegzuschüchtern und zu verjagen, das seltsamerweise die gleiche Haltung einnimmt wie sein eigenes. Außerdem verschwindet dieser Fremde, wenn er nicht mehr vor dem Spiegel steht.

Question from someone who knows nothing about evolution or gorillas society. But how easy would it be to basically have a real life Tarzan. Like having a baby be raised by gorrilas? Would they help and accept him? If not how about a child? If not how about an adult that knows how to behave and “speaks the gorrila language”? I am super curious. Cause I feel like if I knew how to show that I am not threatening and then maybe like give the fruits and start behaving like them and living with them in the forest that eventually they would accept. But I don’t know

[@Chris____.]

I was gonna make an essay but ill give the short version. Edit: I went off topic, so I fixed it 1. Humans are useless from ages 0-4 so no, babies will just die. 2. *Yes.* They are called "Feral Childs"(no real name but its the best way for google search); multiple documented/undocumented cases of children being raised by different mammals, gorillas included. 3. Gorillas in specifically are known to be extremely calm, so an adult human coexisting with them is not such a rare thing, gorillas have also proven of learning sign language and communicating with humans, simple in words but extremely complex and impressive in action. Humans cant learn gorilla language tho. So in theory you could have a real life Tarzan story(Feral Child), but the requirements for that are just too specific/extreme.
