A full-bellied leopard naps beside his reflection in a mirror and dreams of his next prey!

𝗔 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! / 𝗽𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 à 𝗹𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 !
Xavier Hubert-Brierre and his wife Anne-Marie, with their friend Michel Guiss Djoumou, set up cameras in a remote area of Gabon's forest to shoot the diversity of wildlife in this beautiful country and then publish their videos on YouTube. The first videos were not particularly exciting as they mainly showed wild animals " walking by " for a few seconds in front of the lenses of their trap cameras fitted with motion detector. So, they came up with the idea of setting up very large mirrors to attract the curiosity of the animals and filming their reactions to their reflection with these trap cameras. These mirrors break the monotony of the daily life of some animals in this remote area. Although their presence may disturb some jungle species, many quickly get used to them and even take pleasure in observing their reflection in these mirrors or in sleeping near their reflection, a friend? a mate? like the leopard, a solitary animal, the main carnivore in this remote area.
Red river hog / Potamocherus porcus
- red coat with an erectile white mane of the spine to the back
- long white ears ending in tufts of white or black hair.
- weight up to 120 kg (male). Boars are somewhat larger than sows.
- feeds on roots, tubers, fruits, grass, insects and even carrion.
- communicates almost continuously through growls and small barks.
Using its large snout, it searches the ground under dead leaves for roots, tubers, seeds and fruits like the Ozouga (Sacoglottis gabonensis).
The sow has a very high fertility rate. After a gestation period of about 4 months, she will give birth to an average of three to six piglets, dark brown with horizontal yellow stripes. These stripes disappear before the age of 6 months.
Its main predators are leopards and humans. Its meat is highly prized, and for example in Libreville, the capital of Gabon, a red river hog can be purchased for 300/400 USD depending on its size. It is on the list of thirteen partially protected animal species in Gabon whose hunting, capture, possession, transport, and sale are regulated in accordance with the texts in force.

Xavier Hubert-Brierre et son épouse Anne-Marie, avec leur ami Michel Guiss Djoumou ont installé des caméras dans un coin reculé de la forêt gabonaise afin de filmer la diversité de la faune de ce beau pays et ensuite publier leurs vidéos sur YouTube. Les premières vidéos n'étaient pas particulièrement intéressantes car elles montraient essentiellement des animaux sauvages "passant" pendant quelques secondes devant les objectifs de leurs caméras pièges équipées de détecteurs de mouvement. Alors, il leur est venu l’idée de placer de très grands miroirs afin d’attirer la curiosité des animaux et de filmer avec ces caméras pièges, leurs réactions face leur reflet. Ces miroirs rompent la monotonie de la vie quotidienne de certains animaux dans cette région reculée. Si leur présence peut déranger certaines espèces de la jungle, rapidement beaucoup s'y habituent et prennent même plaisir à observer leur reflet dans mes miroirs ou à dormir près de leur reflet, un ami ? un compagnon? comme la panthère, animal solitaire, principal carnivore de cette forêt.
Le potamochère / Potamocherus porcus :
- pelage roux avec une crinière blanche de l'échine jusqu'au dos
- oreilles avec aux extrémités un pinceau de poils blancs.
- poids pouvant atteindre 120 kg (mâle),
- se nourri de racines, tubercules, insectes, fruits, herbe et même de charognes.
- communique en permanence par grognements et petits aboiements.
A l’aide de son important groin (museau), sous les feuilles mortes, il fouille le sol à la recherche de racines, tubercules, graines et fruits comme l’Ozouga (Sacoglottis gabonensis).
Après une gestation de 4 mois environ, la laie ayant un taux de fertilité très élevé, met au monde de 3 à 6 marcassins de couleur brun foncé avec des rayures jaunâtres longitudinales. Ces rayures disparaissent avant l'âge de 6 mois.
Ses principaux prédateurs sont les panthères et les hommes. Sa viande étant très prisée, à Libreville, la capitale du Gabon, un potamochère se négocie suivant sa taille à 300/400 euros. Il fait partie de la liste des treize espèces animales partiellement protégées au Gabon dont la chasse, la capture, la détention, le transport ainsi que la commercialisation, sont réglementés conformément aux textes en vigueur.
