A photographer set up a mirror in the African Jungle to see how the animals would react.

Some reactions were predictable. Big cats and big gorillas tend to react. I think the chimps figured out that it was a reflection. Maybe the elephant did and possibly the young gorilla.
I love the reaction of the baboon.Smiley4

Yes, the Baboon was pretty full-on wasn't he? He gave me such a shock I jumped when he threw himself at the mirror! Big Grin

The Chimps look as if they are being vain...maybe they are. Or maybe they are showing that they are aware it is their own reflection, by making distinct moves and watching the reflection's movement...

The Elephant really does have better things to do! LOL

The mirror was an interesting idea. I wonder what some of the smaller animals thought.
