The only baby in the chimp’s group discovers a playmate in a large mirror set up in the Gabon jungle

Description: English / Français / Português
In Gabon (Equatorial Africa), 10 km from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and 20 km south of the Equator line, daily rains, storms and tornadoes stop completely during the dry season from late May to mid-September. This late afternoon of July, a group of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), composed of about twenty individuals, arrive at one of the 6 large mirrors (2500x1220 m/m) placed in their forest by Xavier and Anne-Marie HUBERT-BRIERRE and their friend Michel GUISS DJOMOU for nearly 10 years. These chimpanzees all chew an "Ozouga", (Sacoglottis gabonensis). A green, smooth, half-round fruit (drupe) with a diameter of 4 centimetres containing 1 to 3 seeds whose sweet taste is also a favourite among elephants, primates as mandrills. Gorillas and chimpanzees with more fragile teeth chew only the outer pulp of these fruits.
The chimpanzee groups in the region know these mirrors. They stay in front of it from time to time for their learning in the mirror, because in chimpanzees, just like in humans, self-recognition in a mirror is not innate. This mirror training is much easier for the very young human child because his parents have already done it and with speech can quietly explain to him that his reflection is not a playmate copying all his movements but himself.
This very young chimpanzee, alone in the group, is happy to discover in the mirror a playmate. Bold, under the admiring gaze of the other chimpanzees, he does not hesitate to come and touch him, but his fingers hit the surface of the mirror.
While all chimpanzees recognize each of their neighbours in the mirror, they also see a stranger they have never seen, their own image. Some of them scratch their hair repeatedly, which is a sign that they are more frustrated and uncomfortable than others with their reflection.

Au Gabon (Afrique Equatoriale), à 10 km des plages de l’Océan Atlantique et à 20 km au sud de la ligne de l’Equateur, les pluies, orages et tornades quotidiens s’arrêtent totalement pendant la saison sèche de fin mai à mi-septembre. Cette fin d’après-midi de juillet, un groupe de chimpanzés (Pan troglodytes), composé d’une vingtaine d’individus arrive à un des 6 grands miroirs (2500x1220 m/m) placés dans leur forêt par Xavier et Anne-Marie HUBERT-BRIERRE et leur ami Michel GUISS DJOMOU depuis près de 10 ans. Ces chimpanzés mâchonnent tous un « Ozouga », (Sacoglottis gabonensis). Un fruit (drupe) vert, lisse, mi-rond, mi-ellipsoïdal de 4 centimètres de diamètre, à noyau central contenant 1 à 3 graines dont le goût sucré est aussi très apprécié par les éléphants et des primates comme les mandrills. Les gorilles et les chimpanzés en raison de leur dentition moins solide, doivent se contenter d’en mâchonner la pulpe.
Les groupes de chimpanzés de la région connaissent ces miroirs. Ils y restent en face de temps à temps pour leur apprentissage au miroir, car chez les chimpanzés, tout comme chez les humains, la reconnaissance de soi dans un miroir n’est pas innée. Cet entrainement au miroir est beaucoup plus aisé chez le tout jeune enfant humain car ses parents l’ont déjà fait et avec la parole peuvent lui expliquer tranquillement que son reflet n’est pas un camarade de jeu copiant tous ses mouvements mais lui-même.
Ce tout jeune chimpanzé, seul dans le groupe est heureux de découvrir dans le miroir un futur camarade de jeu. Téméraire, sous le regard admiratif des autres chimpanzés il n’hésite pas à venir toucher mais ses doigts heurtent la surface du miroir.
Si tous les chimpanzés reconnaissent bien dans le miroir chacun de leurs voisins, ils constatent également la présence d’un étranger qu’ils n’ont jamais vu, leur propre image. Certains d’entre eux grattent leurs poils de façon répétée c’est le signe qu’ils sont plus frustrés et mal à l’aise que d’autres face à leur reflet.

No Gabão (África Equatorial), a 10 km das praias do Oceano Atlântico e a 20 km a sul da linha do Equador, um grupo de chimpanzés (Pan troglodytes), composto por cerca de vinte indivíduos, chega a um grande espelho colocado na sua floresta por Xavier e Anne-Marie HUBERT-BRIERRE e o seu amigo Michel GUISS DJOMOU durante quase 10 anos. Todos estes chimpanzés mastigam a polpa de um "Ozouga" (Sacoglottis gabonensis). Os grupos de chimpanzés na região conhecem esses espelhos. Eles ficam de vez em quando diante dele para aprender no espelho, porque nos chimpanzés, assim como nos humanos, o auto-reconhecimento no espelho não é inato. Este treino de espelho é muito mais fácil para a criança humana muito nova porque os seus pais já o fizeram e com a fala pode explicar-lhe calmamente que a sua reflexão não é um companheiro de brincadeira a copiar todos os seus movimentos mas sim a si próprio.
Este chimpanzé muito jovem, sozinho no grupo, está feliz por descobrir no espelho um companheiro de brincadeira. Téméraire, sob o olhar admirado dos outros chimpanzés, não hesita em vir tocá-lo, mas seus dedos batem na superfície do espelho.

[@MarvelDcImage]

They are aware of reflections because they see reflections when drinking water but in that last seconds when the ape touches the mirror and freaks it is because it was expecting a water like touch and was met with a hard touch and the reflection is so much sharper than water that it confuses them between is it a reflection or is it another ape?

[@michaeldrew7613]

not really read description they don't know they r learning though

[@zecuse]

That's assuming that the area they're drinking from is calm enough to allow for a reflection to be seen clearly. Otherwise, the distortions would probably be mistaken for the undergrowth in the puddle. The other problem is that your face would probably be in shadow because the light is mostly coming from above you, so the reflection looks more like a shadow anyway.

This is classroom stuff. The juvenile we see becomes fully aware this is her reflection. She looks back and forth, recognizing others in both places.

[@farenhite4329]

Interesting, that is probably evidence they understand how the mirror works, which may mean they know the person in the mirror is them.

[@tlrlml]

@@farenhite4329 I was very surprised when I saw it happen, I had to check again just to be sure. But, they are definitely looking at the mirror when he displays, and they definitely turn from the mirror (confirm that it is him) and react. Now, there might have been a vocal component that I missed (and they reacted to the 'sound'), but if not, it is almost certain that they have an understanding that it is reflecting an immediate reality (to which they must react). Whether that means they understand that they, themselves, are being reflected I can't quite say (to short a span of a single instance - to small a sample size), but they did not react as i the alpha was 'behind' the mirror - so they do have the geometry figured out.

[@tammo100]

That is super amazing! They definitely look in the mirror to watch what happens behind them.

[@peein_gas]

OR they think the alpha is IN the mirror and approaching them, i think that would make more sense

Several chimps in this troupe seem to recognize themselves in the mirror and realize that others in the mirror are actually reflections of members of the troupe. This bunch also looks a bit taller and slimmer than some others I've seen on these videos. The seem almost bonobo-like, though they don't seem to walk erect.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Chimpanzees recognize the reflection of the troop members. At times, facing the mirror, they turn their heads to check the physical presence on their back of a member whose reflection they see. They seem to have understood the reflective properties of a mirror. On the other hand, many are still confused and worried about the presence of an unknown individual in the mirror who is not physically in their back when they turn around! Their own image that they don't know!

[@suzannebennett8987]

@@XHB06400CANNES Yeah, I've watched quite a few of your videos, and we have had this discussion only from the other direction. There are many videos in which the chimps don't seem to recognize themselves - even mothers carrying babies. In those instances, I have made the point that it seems as if the mother and baby should each be able to see that "if that's my mom/baby, then that other chimp must be me!" Even so, in a lot of the videos they don't seem to make that connection, but this troupe seems very aware of it.

JordansDroid yea, we are related. If you don’t agree, they happen to have brains, organs, and bones just like ours.

I notice in previous videos that Gorillas have stopped by too to have a 'wash and brush up' in the sandy terrain. Is there any evidence that these two different types of primates have encounter each other?

A male removes blood-eating ticks from the swollen genitals of this female in estrus. This male crushes them between his teeth and swallows them to make sure they won't survive. Don't forget to read the description attached to each of our 160 videos published on our channel : kzbin.infovideos

I love chimpanz

[@XHB06400CANNES]

In a gorilla family (10/12 individuals) there is the chief (the silverback) and his harem (3 to 5 females that he doesn't share with other males, so his own wives) and their descendants (the blackbacks). He must protect his family and his authority is not challenged except rarely by one of his teenage sons, who usually leaves his birth family to create his own family by attracting females from other groups. *_Gorillas are peaceful great apes. They are frugivorous herbivores. They dont eat the flesh!_* In a group of chimpanzees (25/40 individuals), there are several silverbacks (alpha males or dominant males) that must constantly justify their alpha male status in the eyes of the females and be aggressive towards adolescent male suitors. Females (not wives) are available to the dominant males. The structure of the group is not stable as it can split or fuse with other groups. *_Chimpanzees are belligerent apes. They are omnivorous. They eat the meat of small antelopes, porcupines, palm rats and also small monkeys._* Check out more of my 160 homemade videos from my channel and don't forget to read the description attached to each of them, you will find very interesting information. kzbin.infovideos Good vision!

[@chimplove2006]

Xavier HUBERT-BRIERRE love your detailed explanation. But iv got a question, do male chimps always have there hair standing to look big or only in dominance displays?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

​@@chimplove2006 In an attempt to frighten this stranger they have never met (their own image), with whom they dnot want to share the females of their group, *_male chimpanzees show their great corpulence with hair standing, arms outstretched, in a bipedal position_* Don’t forget after watching to read the description attached to each of my 160 videos published on my KZbin channel you will know very interesting information about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle_* kzbin.infovideos
