Your compliment is a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me. As you may have noticed, we are not sitting comfortably in our armchairs, publishing, without any description, pieces of videos copied from the Internet and put end to end. A comment like yours cheers us up after my wife and I have spent days alone in the Gabonese forest for the maintenance of our mirrors and numerous cameras traps, changing memory cards, cells, batteries, cleaning lenses, removing fallen branches in their field of vision, walking up beds of creeks to find areas where animals are crossing over to install new traps 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, 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. Keep watching the other videos on my channel kzbin.infovideos May I invite you to watch especially my videos which, unfortunately, have a very small number of views and are very informative like: First mud bath of an cute new born elephant with her mom and aunts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKHNYomcoLN9iZY Fresh Water from Creeks triggers the urge to urinate in wild mammals: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep3YenSvbNBjopo Eaters of waterlilies: Buffalo, Elephant, Sitatunga: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqraGmjfq6imJY Can an elephant survive without half of its trunk lost in a poacher's wire snare? kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6CcmIqfbdWNp6c Before buying ivory jewellery or carved ivory objects: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJPYhZ1tpbOpfq8 and unfortunately there are many others in this case!

*Without these mirrors,* jungle life is cruel and monotony : 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. They fight amongst themselves within their own herds and prides regardless of species for food, status, for mating right and territory and might die in those encounters. *With these mirrors, I break the monotony of the daily life of some animals in this remote area of the gabonese rain forest. If the presence of my mirrors can disturb some species in the jungle, quickly many of them get habituated to it and even take pleasure to observe their reflection in my mirrors.* These wild animals can go to these mirrors, as they see fit and stay in front of them, as long as they wish. They are not tied as dogs with leashes, locked as dog or cats in flats especially with dressing rooms equipped with a full-length mirror! They are not imprisoned for life in pens or cages with the distraction of watching visitors standing behind their fences or bars, eating the food they have neither picked nor hunted as Harambe (a silverback gorilla), born in captivity and dead 17 years later, still captive , killed by a bullet in his enclosure! *_No food is placed by humans next to mirrors to encourage them to come._* I would like to point out that among the wild animals meeting these mirrors placed in this remote region of Gabon, some seem happy to look at themselves in these mirrors: as these leopards: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHaTgoWcZ9Wdp8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6kkqVvh5qdmLs as these chimpanzees: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGWboX2GZ52Gf8k as these young gorillas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS2gpdnpMSlZpI Look at how the silverback gorilla's behaviour has evolved near the mirrors his family is looking at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPFmGacdqplibc Look at how the gorilla family's walking speed increases when they approach a mirror whose location they have memorized kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPFmGacdqplibc Please do not forget to read the description attached to each of our 180 videos published on our channel kzbin.infovideos

*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.

He doesn't need any friend, any lifepartner. **_"This male leopard is not in love with his own image reflected in a mirror in the jungle as Narcissus, an impossibly handsome figure from Greek mythology, fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water."_** These mirrors break a certain sameness in his life in the rain forest.

*More "random" cameras would not bring more triggers and especially the main difficulty is that the detected animals do not stay only 3 to 5 seconds in the field of view of the trap* We are neither scientists nor veterinarians. 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. I have put online two other shorter versions of this encounter between a leopard addicted to mirrors and a family of elephants walking on the path along our mirror number 6 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4ukgJJmbKyXidU same camera 2 minutes version 16 million views kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpLSe3eOj7ara9U an other camera of a different brand and under slightly different angle of view On our KZbin channel kzbin.infovideos are published more than 150 videos shot by our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

It's fascinating. This leopard seems to be entranced by the reflection. Almost paralyzed by his/her own reflection. Caught in a narcissistic loop.

@thisisreallife5086 2 ай бұрын

I think it's half territorial and half loneliness. I agree, it's interesting for a few days, but then take it out of there. Let's not risk having these beautiful animals focus their time on phantoms and neglect the real threats in their territories. It's artificially forcing them to modify their natural behaviors. Make it brief and go.

Leopards are not pride animals, unlike lions. A leopard's worst enemy is another leopard. It's like my house cat. It has one friend, me. Other cats is fight on sight. And the leopard see, leopard wanna fight, even itself in a mirror.

@XHB06400CANNES Ай бұрын

1) this leopard is a male "it gives _her_ some confort" 2) *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. **_"This male leopard is not in love with his own image reflected in a mirror in the jungle as Narcissus, an impossibly handsome figure from Greek mythology, fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water."_** 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:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3YpGeYibytnK8 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.

In felines, if lions are genetically programmed to live in large family groups (prides), leopards are programmed to live alone, to be solitary felines. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the pride. This male leopard doesn't feel alone. He desires to fight with a rival and dont search an odourless mate. He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he makes a guttural sound called " sawing call ".

If the mirror placement seems to have screwed up their mind, these large mirrors break the monotony of the daily life in the rain forest. Wild animals can go to these mirrors, as they see fit and stay in front, as long as they wish. No food is left by human next to the mirrors to encourage them to come. I would like to point out that these wild animals. Among the wild animals meeting these mirrors placed in a remote region of Gabon, some seem to be happy to look at themselves in these mirrors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS2gpdnpMSlZpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPFmGacdqplibc They are not imprisoned for life in pens or cages with the distraction of watching visitors standing behind their fences or bars, eating the food they have neither picked nor hunted.

*After reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors, your feedback on my video 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. 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 descriptionin 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.. May I suggest you some of my 160 home-made videos from my channel which have never been recommended by KZbin and which unfortunately have a very small number of views even though they are very instructive such as: A male and a female leopard overuse a mirror for their SMS. The gorilla disapproves kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpOmkoOJYpVkpJY dance with intimidation jumps among chimpanzees in front of mirrors set in their jungle (Gabon) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5Kyipxtipycqpo a young male sitatunga (swamp-dwelling antelope) crosses the creek in two jumps - Gabon's jungle kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWSkmXepmrKfeas Blood-sucking Ticks often infest Elephant skin causing intense itching.

*_A comment like yours is comforting after reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors_* This leopard's 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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqu5e5-bqLyKldU 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). 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 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3YpGeYibytnK8 On our KZbin channel kzbin.infovideos are published more than 160 videos capture with our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

In his mind it's another leopard entering his territory, so trying to chase the other leopard away. When elephant hears the aggressive behavior of leopard it thinks that leopard is trying to hurt another elephant, so coming for rescue. But then when elephant realizes that there is no elephant in danger but, just a weird object sitting there gets scared of it, and holds its tail high and runs away. Good experiment.
