Leopards VS mirror - 3 years later same mom with her new cub (identification demonstrated in clip)

Description: english / français / español ###
This young leopard served his apprenticeship to the mirror under the eyes of his mother.
30 months ago, this same female observed one of her previous cub playing with her reflection. The mom seems to have figured out that there was no playmate behind the mirror for a while but didn't know why. She just seems to be standing there wondering when her cub would do the same.
This mother leopard is not self-aware. Cats do not have the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror, even after a long training in the mirror. After her mirror learning, she knows that the leopard picture in the mirror, dumb and smellless presents not any danger.
Watch our video which totals more than more than 2 million views : mirror in the jungle (2): a young female leopard plays with her image in Gabon. Leopards VS mirror.
• A young leopard plays ...
How are we sure whether the same female?
The arrangement of marks (rosettes) on the fur leopards is unique (like fingerprints to humans).
Please continue watching and you will have proof that it is of the same mother: The Queen of Spades!

So... while the leopard female hasn't got to the point of inspecting itself, and probably wouldn't pass the mark test, it none the less seems to have understood that this isn't another leopard. Half way there..

[@XHB06400CANNES]

She understood that it is not another leopard because it is odorless, because it does not emit the slightest growl and therefore finally this reflection is a safe toy for her little cub. On our KZbin channel kzbin.infovideos are published more than 160 videos captured by our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

Me encantan estos vídeos, haces un gran trabajo. Ignora los comentarios de ofendidos que no pueden ver más allá de sus prejuicios. Es fantástico y muy curioso poder ver la reacción de los animales ante el espejo y ver cómo algunos consiguen entender que están viendo un reflejo de si mismos y no otro animal. Parece ser que es casi esencial que tengan a un compañero para darse cuenta de que es un reflejo al ver a su compañero "duplicado". No sé cual es la finalidad de estos vídeos pero me recuerdan a algunos estudios hechos principalmente con perros, monos y humanos para determinar cuando empiezan a tener conciencia de sí mismos. Realmente muy interesante, gracias por subirlo a KZbin.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

*_Un comentario como el suyo es reconfortante después de leer numerosos comentarios que piden el desmantelamiento de estos espejos sádicos_* Mi esposa y yo no somos ni fotógrafos profesionales, ni científicos, ni veterinarios. Quisimos agradecer a Gabón, que ha sido anfitrión durante más de 35 años, por mostrar en KZbin la diversidad de la fauna de este hermoso país y hacer que la gente quiera visitarlo. Nuestros primeros vídeos emitidos en nuestro canal de KZbin mostraban principalmente animales salvajes "pasando" delante de las lentes de nuestras cámaras trampa equipadas con detectores de movimiento: La caminata de un elefante frente a la lente de una trampa durante unos 20 segundos no es particularmente interesante. Por otra parte, es mucho más agradable ver un vídeo de elefantes jóvenes jugando en un río mientras los adultos sacian su sed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zQgXWiabODrJo (En Gabón, frente a las cámaras trampa, elefantes cruzando el río Ndouni). Para encontrar estos "puntos", se aconseja alejarse del camino utilizado por los pocos vehículos 4x4 de Nyonié (campamento a 30 Km. de nuestra zona de trampas), para adentrarse en el bosque y remontar los ríos en sus lechos. Esto no está exento de peligro, especialmente cuando se es viejo. Para progresar más fácilmente en el bosque, los animales utilizan el sendero fuera de la carretera, sin lianas, arbustos, zarzas y árboles entremezclados en el suelo, siguiendo los muy numerosos tornados de esta región que se encuentran a ambos lados de la línea ecuatorial. Así que se nos ocurrió la idea de colocar espejos muy grandes al final de una larga línea recta para atraer su curiosidad y "bloquearlos" frente a su reflejo. También colocamos otros espejos bajo los árboles donde muchos animales disfrutan de la fruta. En otros lugares en medio del bosque, habría sido muy afortunado que los animales cruzaran su reflejo! Nuestro uso de los espejos despertó gran interés entre los primatólogos, especialmente los miembros del PSG, no del club de fútbol Paris Saint Germain, sino del Grupo de Especialistas en Primates, que sólo había estudiado el reconocimiento de sí mismo en un espejo en grandes simios en laboratorios con animales cautivos o nacidos en cautiverio que solían estar en contacto con humanos. Estos animales, que a veces imitaban al hombre, no tenían que buscar alimento ni defender a sus familias de otros congéneres y depredadores, y por lo tanto tenían un comportamiento deforme, muy diferente del de los primates que vivían libremente con su grupo o familia en una zona remota de la selva gabonesa. Nuestras cámaras revelaron un comportamiento muy particular entre los chimpancés de la región de Nyonié y esto llevó a una publicación científica, "Los reflejos en los espejos de la selva tropical facilitan las observaciones del comportamiento de los primates chimpancés salvajes n°58 2017-01". Este comportamiento es filmado en nuestros dos siguientes videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (Frotación de rabadillas en chimpancés = efecto antiestrés? Un comportamiento social nunca antes observado) y kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfPmoekf5yCotE (los chimpancés asustados se tranquilizan con contactos pseudo-poblados y de grupa a grupa frente al espejo).

[@CarolynDenison]

The Mom of the leopard still look's over the mirror closely. Trust is not 100%. She is still a bit curious after 3 years. Early in clip the baby run's up as if to ambush the Mom, but mom sees the kid coming in the reflection and turns to get away before she gets jumped. So she knows that is her, and the kids reflection, she just can't figure out the mirror it's self. 🐆

[@XHB06400CANNES]

This leopard mother knows what her cub looks like and therefore observes without understanding that the mirror duplicates the cub's image. On the other hand, she doesn't know what she looks like herself and therefore she can't understand that her reflection is herself

@B Mell 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, to change the SD, batteries, 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%.

[@victorkunin2333]

Xavier, amazing video. As you describe, the mother has seen the mirror before with another cub. Could it be that the mother is doing a deliberate mirror training for this cub? She appears to be relaxed and calming down the cub from the start. It's as if she is telling the cub "This is one of those things you'd see in this jungle. It's not dangerous and not edible, but it's different and requires understanding. Go ahead, play with it and figure it out." Sure, this would be quite a bold statement to claim, and a difficult one to prove. I wonder if she brought her next cub(s) to the mirror when the cub(s) reached an appropriate age.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

This mother, like all felines, doesn't have the ability to recognize herself in a mirror. She has understood that the mirror copies the image (that she knows) of her child and that when she herself is facing the mirror, the image of a leopard, odourless, mute and without danger (her own image that she does not know), appears. Concerning her next child, the leopard being territorial, she will walk the same paths as with her previous children and thus will meet our mirrors again.

Great footage. Did you reach any social or activity analysis that you can share?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

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, 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. Keep watching my homemade videos (160 pieces) that I put online on my channel and read the description attached to each one of them. You will know very interesting explanations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle and share its link with your friends: kzbin.infovideos

[@magikalbrat2702]

What I find interesting is that the cub isn't at all concerned nor curious about her mother's reflection. Just keeps trying to interact with her own newfound " toy". Thank you for the hard, and grueling, work you and your wife have committed to doing in order to bring a piece of life in far off places to everyone so we can learn and see what we will truly, as a world, lose if we don't take the time to think that the planet is not here solely for ourselves as a species.

Sir, whether those leopards know that they are seeing its own images on the mirror. Do they have self conscious?

With two big differences: - the mother of the human baby has already learned and recognizes herself in the mirror - the mother of the human baby has the ability to speak to reassure her baby *This mother leopard is not self-aware. Cats do not have the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror, even after a long training in the mirror. She knows that the leopard picture in the mirror, dumb and smellless presents not any danger.* To date: only Humans, Orangutans, Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, Rhesus Macaques, Bottlenose Dolphins, Asian Elephants, Orcas and Magpies have shown the ability to recognize their own reflections.

@@XHB06400CANNES it is worth noting that house cats HAVE passed this test. It is just VERY rare to capture such footage.

There is also a video called "CAT DISCOVERS IT HAS EARS" that proves cats have passed this test. Also asian elephants have passed the self aware test. Give it time. I'm sure one day you'll get lucky and see an African elephant pass the test too.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

@@FablestoneSeries Thanks, I know this video with a cat scratching its right ear while looking at an animal in a mirror. It cannot think that it's itself because it doesn't know what it looks like! In no way does it try to find out the reason for its itch by looking with this mirror at a part of its body that it cannot see directly.

[@FablestoneSeries]

@@XHB06400CANNES You might be expecting too much from the test. Maybe it isn't itching. Maybe it doesn't understand it can do anything about the itch. or they may just have disinterest. disinterest in their reflection isn't the same thing as not being self aware. They have dogs and cats who can communicate now through push buttons, showing an understanding of dozens of words and able to understanding grammar and put sentences together. They ask questions. use words to explain their mood. explain if they are in pain. Koko the gorilla used to invent her own words. They once asked Koko what she thought happened when you die, and she said you go to an uncomfortable dark hole when you die. Animals can demonstrate an understanding of self through the language they are using. It is clear we underestimated the intelligence of animals, and that it was the tests we were using that were too constricting. Science assumed cats and dogs couldn't cry because it was never observed in tests. They ran 20 tests once back in 1950 and gave up. And science decided that animals couldn't cry. That is until the internet began showing hundreds of examples of dogs and cats crying over a dead baby animal, and science had to admit that maybe the tests they were using was the problem. They made a poor judgment based on insufficient testing. Now they think most animals CAN cry.

Tem coisas que devemos evitar para não ficar louco, coitado do animal, ficou obcecado pelo espelho, e outro não está nem aí, mas parece está preocupado com a obcecada.

[@Hugues1961]

Dans toutes ces vidéos face au miroir, deux réactions semblent s'imposer : rival ou partenaire sexuel. Seuls certains primates paraissent réfléchir (normal devant un miroir) !

I don’t understand the queen of spades analogy

[@XHB06400CANNES]

The spot (1) on the fur on the outside of the left thigh looks like a spade and since it is a female, I called this female the queen of spades. To identify female leopards I focus in particular on this spot shape at this location.

[@gordonmcconnell1578]

Amazing videos - thanks. Also, thanks to Londolozi for providing the reference to your videos, from their blog at blog.londolozi.com/2018/01/10/could-a-leopard-recognize-batman/

Получается, что леопарды самые нарциссы, сцукко 😎

[@yvetteturner4125]

This is the second such video I've seen and I wonder why one is fascinated and the other one not so much or at all. Is it possible that these animals have a higher level of intelligence or narsicism in the animal world. This exists in dogs. I have had a few over the years and two of them definitely knew when they looked good and acted accordingly, showing off and strutting their stuff. This is not a sex thing either, one was a male and the other female, both had vanity and different things made them feel like they were the look. For one it was grooming (male Pomeranian), the other, sweaters and jackets make her feel special (jack russel mix).

[@XHB06400CANNES]

The first video of this kind that you watched was probably my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-rXmOadrSSodk. I guess you understood, read the descriptions and therefore found that in these 2 videos there is the same mother who is interested in her son, watching him playing with his reflection, then in her daughter grooming her by licking her fur. The mother understood that this intruder in her forest was copying the image of her children while showing another non-dangerous leopard. Hence, after multiple exposures to the mirrors, her lack of reaction to the reflections, whereas for her children it was their very first exposure and the discovery of a playmate, their own reflection.

Many thanks! I have just corrected the title of my video. Thank you for watching more of my 160 home made videos posted on my channel and read the description attached to each one. You will find very interesting information on the animals' reactions to my mirrors in the jungle: kzbin.infovideos

I wish I had your email address I don't like saying this in public but here it is my interpretation of narcissus is this there is a camera and there are some batteries in it and they are shining on the mirror and it one occasion a bat flies through and perhaps the people that live in narcissus is dream then consciously noticed it all now there's sonar but even without that element you have a beam of electricity to the mirror I don't know what's in the mirror but for some reason there's some belief that something will be seen in that mirror because of the materials and the electricity

[@GS-mo2zj]

. I don't know if there is a pattern in his visits to calendar dates or not but he was ghost hunting and I see a reason to believe that he expected to know within a 20 mile radius whether or not poachers had entered the jungle but then he knew what star he came from and we don't. Possibly he expected to know if there was a poacher when he went hunting possibly because of the contamination of ghosts with the living somebody narrowed the focal length so that he was no longer covering a 20 square mile area. At any rate if you think about it I think there's a potential for helping animals know if humans are in the jungle if the are experienced hunters. I think some kinds of working dogs could be taught how to do this. There is a community at the bottom of the ocean that's experiments with mirrors and the deposition of rare things. I never meant to say this to anybody but you but I could not find an email address

[@CitizenShane]

they should make one mirror with a steel cage attached to the rear of it with a trap window on the mirror that someone could open up really fast and scare the hell out of the animals. the reactions would be priceless 😂

[@XHB06400CANNES]

I suppose that you are of course a volunteer to spend several nights in the cage waiting for the animals (it is not possible to fix them an rendezvous), so that you can frighten them.

[@jermainekngdom3154]

🔫 here. You know what to do.
