In the Gabon jungle a young male gorilla continues his learning in the mirror

Description
INFORMATION on this video TO READ ABSOLUTELY ###
INFORMATIONS sur cette vidéo A LIRE ABSOLUMENT ###
Anne-Marie and Xavier HUBERT-BRIERRE with Michel GUISS DJOMOU have been setting up very large mirrors since 2009 in a remote region of Gabon near the equator line and close to the Atlantic Ocean. Multiple camera traps were placed in front of each of these mirrors to film the animals' reactions to their reflection from different angles and distances.
In humans around the age of 2 years after learning in the mirror with his parents that the young child recognizes himself in a mirror. 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.
It appears that these mirrors placed on the estate of a gorilla family. Videos published on KZbin, with a total of more than 100 million views, showed the reactions of his family chief ("the silverback" • Gabon: This Silverback... This Silverback thinks this intruder in the mirror) to these intruders. They highlight that this chief cannot look his reflection in the mirror because among the silverbacks, looking each other straight in the eye is like a " war declaration ".
This video of his son, not yet head of the family, therefore not yet silverback, shows that he could quietly watch his reflection and make his apprenticeship in the mirror to reach the stage where he perceives the reflected image as himself, rather than of another gorilla. He can look at his teeth, his tongue and have fun making faces.
When he has started a family, will he make a difference between his image in the mirror, which he will continue to look straight in the eyes, and a silverback outside the mirror, which he will try to drive out of his domain, without looking him straight in the eyes to avoid a real confrontation?
---------------------------------------
Anne-Marie et Xavier HUBERT-BRIERRE avec Michel GUISS DJOMOU ont installé depuis 2009 de très grands miroirs dans une région reculée du Gabon près de la ligne de l’équateur et proche de l’océan atlantique. De multiples des pièges photographiques ont été placés devant chacun de ces miroirs afin de filmer sous différents angles et à différentes distances, les réactions des animaux face à leur reflet.
Chez les humains ce n’est vers l’âge de 2 ans après un apprentissage au miroir avec ses parents que le jeune enfant se reconnait dans un miroir. Si, sans qu’il s’en aperçoive, sa mère lui mets sur son front une marque de rouge à lèvre et le place devant le miroir, découvrant cette marque sur son reflet, il va alors porter sa main sur son propre front. Il aura réussi le test du miroir.
Il s’avère que ces miroirs ont placés sur le domaine d’une famille de gorille. Des vidéos publiées sur KZbin totalisant plus de 100 millions de vues, ont montré les réactions de son chef (le dos argenté • Gabon: This Silverback... This Silverback thinks this intruder in the mirror) face à ces intrus. Elles mettent en évidence que celui-ci ne peut regarder son reflet dans le miroir car chez les dos argentés, se regarder droit dans les yeux équivaut à « une déclaration de guerre »
Cette vidéo de son fils, pas encore chef de famille, donc pas encore silverback, montre qu’il a pu tranquillement regarder son reflet et faire son apprentissage au miroir pour atteindre le stade où il a compris que son reflet est lui-même et non l’image d’un autre gorille. Il peut regarder sa dentition, sa langue et s’amuser à faire des grimaces.
Quand celui-ci aura fondé une famille, fera t-il une différence entre son image dans le miroir, qu'il continuera à regarder droit dans les yeux, et un dos argenté rival en dehors du miroir, en chair et en os, qu'il tentera de chasser de son domaine en évitant de le regarder droit dans les yeux pour ne pas déclencher une véritable confrontation ?

*WRONG!* As in humans, self-recognition in gorillas is also the result of learning to look in the mirror. To do this, *one must be exposed to one's reflection many times* and examine it quietly: one's face, body and the gestures (attitudes) it copies. *While mirror training can be successful in some blackback gorillas (females, adolescents and children), after a long practice in mirror in laboratory as in wild,* it is compromised among silverbacks where looking another silverback , or its reflection, straight in the eyes is a sign of defiance, an attitude that these peaceful males avoid. After many years of encountering these mirrors, this silverback has learned that a silverback reflection does not present the slightest danger for him.

I love how the mirror seems so thought provoking for them, you can always tell once it “clicks” mentally and they start to use it as a self examination tool.

[@The1980Philip]

Adult male gorillas that haven't been exposed to mirrors in their youth don't figure it out because eye contact between adult male gorillas is a challenge. They dare not take the necessary closer look to figure it out because their reflection looks about as strong as they themselves are.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

To do this, one must be exposed to one's reflection many times and examine it quietly: one's face, body and the gestures (attitudes) it copies.

2:01 - 2:11 It is doing something amazing: puts its hand in front of its body, and behind its body, to check, if it's seen in both positions: that is, to explore the properties of the mirror, the extent to which it reflects; also claps with hands, to verify, that the image it's observing, corresponds to the actions. It is absolutely amazing, as this is a sign of empirical scientific THOUGHT. It is mind-blowing, in fact. Then it proceeds to do something not less staggering, another empirical approach: turns the other way, in order to not visually observe the mirror, and tries to check by touching, if it is "real", "material" - in the case of not directly watching at it. A proof of primitive human-like consciousness, and completely mind-blowing, for me. Always have believed animals have only INSTINCT, or a parrot-like way to "copy", "imitate" some activity, but not an ability to THINK on their own, and EXPLORE, in a scientific way, like this. Even if rudimentary, this is a sign of human-like, curious, intuitive Consciousness. Amazing.

Apparently, this gorilla likely understood the mirror is his reflection, unlike the poor, bewildered chimpanzees. He knows there’s no physical reciprocity. The mirror is cold to the touch. He seems entertained by his own wild antics. WoW! Discovered this channel a while ago, simple yet entertaining. The chimps were hilarious!!!

[@XHB06400CANNES]

It would seem that it is easier to learn in the mirror when you are alone in front of it (as this no silverback gorilla looking at his reflection direct in eyes) than when you are several chimpanzees. Each chimpanzee effectively recognizes his neighbours among the reflections, he also notices the presence of a stranger he has never met: his image he does not know. Why is he here? In an attempt to frighten this stranger he has never met (his image), this chimpanzee shows his large build, in standing in a bipedal position, stretching out his arms, ruffling his hair and shows his strength with heavy slaps on the ground. His reflection taking the same attitude, he hesitates to fight it. Keep watching the new videos that I put online on my channel and read the description attached to each one of them.

🙏🙏🙏 *I really appreciate when a viewer gives such a label to my video. Merci beaucoup !* *May I suggest you some of my homemade-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:* 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 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! Check out my 180 homemade videos published on my channel kzbin.infovideos and read the description attached to each one of them. You will know very interesting informations. Good vision!

I've watched several of these, he is the only one that gets it is his reflection.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

I'm not sure if he actually recognizes himself in the reflection or if he recognizes that the gorilla he sees in the mirror is not an existential threat to him.

[@ikallibby]

I wonder if something would to be quietly placed, or quietly moved behind him, if he would turn around, knowing the mirror is a reflection.

[@davidtsmith33]

He's really enjoying that mirror.

[@ARDG89]

probably the first time in his life he's seen an object that is a straight line. he's definitely amazed by the frame of the mirror alone

[@XHB06400CANNES]

It is the same about our security boxes for our trap cameras. *Most mammals, with the exception of elephants who have very poor eyesight, notice the presence of a camouflaged steel box, protecting our camera traps because a cubic box in a vegetation where nothing is straight, catches their eye. They get used to their presence, which no longer disturbs their intimacy, their reactions because they do not know their purpose.* Please watch my following videos : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGXKg4qEhp2pftk kzbin.info/www/bejne/naeQlnmrnNB5npo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX-niHmCrZytq9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/naLNkJWPZcxjeZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/an-VoGepp8Z4fKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZW8mZRnabKLmK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4eWopWie5x_bqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXFpKWdjsesf5Y and read the descriptions attached to each of our 180 home-made videos published on our channel: kzbin.infovideos Good vision!
