Innovative French photographer Xavier Hubert-Brierre travelled to Gabon with his wife and set up a mirror in several locations in order to capture animals walking by.I'll let the videos speak for themselves:
It's really interesting to see how some animals are able to recognize themselves in the reflection, have a sense of "self-awareness" if you will. (While gorillas appear super-confused by these mysterious doppelgangers, the chimps seem to "get mirrors" pretty fast. They do appear super sad and bummed out once they took the mirrors aways...)
