Gabon Its fauna seen by a camera trap What diversity!

My wife and I 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. We are neither scientists nor veterinarians nor primatologists nor photographers. Our first videos posted on our KZbin channel, ten years ago, essentially showed wildlife "walking" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The crossing of an elephant in front of a trap camera lens for about five seconds is not particularly interesting, except as in this case of a slide show showing the diversity of wildlife moving in front of the single trap!
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. • Elephant calves have f... 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 huge 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 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 different and distorted behaviors 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 behavior 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: • Rump-Rump Rubbing in C... (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and • scared chimps reassure... (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.

Beautiful animals, we humans must protect them always.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

*In the remote area where I planted my mirrors with an average of five cameras in front of each other and 80 trap cameras outside the area around the mirrors for nearly 11 years, I have noticed a significant increase in the number of leopards and their size. Why?* Because small game is more important and thus makes it possible to feed a larger number of leopards. Why is small game more important? Why has the gorilla family become larger? Why are chimpanzee groups more important? Why do red river hogs (bushpig) troops exceed fifty individuals? The poachers of this game avoid this region for fear of being photographed by my cameras : Watch this videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHrShoBmi9OMpMk . The leopard 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 is therefore very easy and quick for him to find fresh meat to eat and his passion for mirrors will not let him starve!* On our KZbin channel kzbin.infovideos are published more than 180 videos captured by our trap cameras fixed in the Gabon jungle. The majority of them show encounters of wild animals with our 6 large mirrors. After watching each of our videos, don't forget to read the description in english attached to learn more about the behaviour of the animals in front of their reflection.

Votre réponse me rassure car dans de nombreux contrôles sur mobiles de vidéos publiées antérieurement les miniatures d'invitation n'apparaissaient pas.

I like how some of them seem to look towards the trap camera, like their senses are momentarily drawn towards it, but since it's hidden, they probably disregard it.

Holy shit I had no idea elephants even lived in forests! I also didn't know chimpanzees and gorillas had overlapping territories - amazing!

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Chimpanzees and gorillas are smart great apes, they avoid meeting each other so as not to have to settle disputes between neighbours. When ones are in learning session in the mirror, the others wait their turn to take their place in front of the mirror. Please read the description attached to each of my videos 170 homemade published on my KZbin channel you will know very interesting informations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle kzbin.infovideos Please watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2rXiaR-rJKXqpI (Young gorillas fascinated by their reflection in the forest ignore a large group of mandrills) and after read my attached description.

A tu déjà vu une interaction entre chimpanzé et gorille dans cette région ? Si oui l'aurait tu déjà filmé ?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Dans la région où sont placés mes miroirs, le principal carnivore (hormis les braconniers qui évitent de s'y rendre en raison de la présence de plus de 70 caméras-pièges kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHrShoBmi9OMpMk ) est le léopard. C'est un animal solitaire qui ne chasse pas en troupe. Il évite d'attaquer les éléphants mâles solitaires ainsi que les familles avec enfants en raison de leur pouvoir de réaction en cas d'attaque. Il évite d'attaquer un veau dans un troupeau de buffles de forêt en raison de leur agressivité. Il évite d'attaquer les singes (mandrills) et les grands singes (gorilles et chimpanzés) à cause de leur cohésion et de plus il ne grimpe pas bien aux arbres. De plus la chair de ces mammifères n'est pas très savoureuse à l'exception du veau du buffle. Le léopard apprécie le petit gibier comme les petites antilopes (céphalophes bleus), les porcs-épics et surtout les rats palmistes. Il faut noter que les chimpanzés, frugivores, insectivores et herbivores mangent occasionnellement des petits singes comme le singe à nez masqué (Cercopithecus nictitans). Il existe donc une sorte de statuquo entre les éléphants, les gorilles, les chimpanzés, les buffles et les léopards qui évitent de se rencontrer, d'autant plus que dans cette forêt "il n'y a pas de compétition pour la nourriture, les fruits et les tiges comme les marantacées, étant nombreux en toutes saisons "*. Dans la forêt reculée où nous avons planté nos miroirs vivent des groupes de chimpanzés et une famille de gorilles. Pour ne pas avoir de conflit, ces grands singes évitent de se rencontrer. Par exemple, lorsqu'un groupe de chimpanzés fait face à un miroir, le gorille à dos argenté emmène sa famille à l'écart de cette zone pour attendre que le groupe parte et vienne ensuite se confronter au miroir.* Merci de regarder mes 170 autres vidéos postées sur ma chaîne et de lire la description attachée à chacune d'elles. Vous y trouverez des informations très intéressantes sur les réactions des animaux à mes miroirs dans la jungle : kzbin.infovideos

You're right lions don't live in gabon

[@XHB06400CANNES]

There have been lions in Gabon only in the eastern region with high dalles covered with savannah and gallery forests. The last one was killed near the town of Moanda around 1980. In central and western Gabon, covered by a dense rainforest, lions cannot live there.

[@jpaulstudios5152]

@@XHB06400CANNES you mean the hunters killed the last one in 1996

[@XHB06400CANNES]

There was a campaign to poison lions in the Boumango and Bakoumba areas in the 1990s to protect the animals at the Boumango ranch," said Lee White, Executive Secretary of the National Parks Agency (ANPN).
