Here's What Happens When Animals Look in the Mirror For the First Time

While we may use mirrors every day, animals aren't used to seeing their reflection — actually, they kind of hate it. In a video uploaded by Caters News Agency, animals take a look at their own reflections and have all types of different reactions to it. The mirror, set up by French photographer Xavier Hubert-Brierre in Gabon, Africa, was seen by a gorilla, elephant, leopard, and various monkeys.

Some casually approach the mirror, the gorilla and leopard get angry and try to attack their reflection, and the monkeys do what humans do — scratch themselves and see what it looks like. However, one animal couldn't care less; the elephant simply looked and kept going about its day. The video is already incredibly popular, surpassing 11 million views in just a few days.
