In a remote area of the Gabonese forest, 12 km from the equator and 10 km from the Atlantic Ocean, outside a national park, Anne-Marie et Xavier Hubert-Brierre have been observing the reaction of wild animals as they catch sight of themselves in large mirrors (250cm x 120cm) with motion sensors camera traps the couple installed 9 years ago. This innovative idea attracted the attention of primatologists, behaviour specialists whose studies on self recognition have, until now, been carried out in laboratories, on wild animals in captivity who are accustomed to the presence of humans. Wild animals come and go as they please in front of our mirrors and stay as they like both day and night.
For humans self recognition is not immediate: in the case of the very young child a period of “mirror training” guided by the reassurance of the mother is necessary.
For wild animals who haven't had this mirror training, nor possess the use of language to guide and reassure their child, self recognition is much more difficult.
Let's take the example of a gorillas family: Adult males see their reflection as a stranger come to seize his females. Young animals, on the other hand, see their reflection as a friend and companion. They don't hesitate to touch the surface of the mirror or reach behind the mirror in an effort to touch the image. Rebekah, a young student of Professor Jim Anderson, of the University of Sterling in Scotland, concluded her researched, based on our videos of a young male gorilla in front of our mirrors by stating, “this gorilla has demonstrated the ability to recognise himself.” Translated by Robin Alcorn
For leopard fanatics, (Panthera pardus and not Panthera onca (jaguar) only found on the American continent where no elephants are found on this continent) I publish a 19-minutes long video containing all the leopard's trap camera shots (assembled end to end) in front of this mirror from 13 PM before his meeting with elephants, during the face to face and after until he left the mirror at 23PM

Also a second short version taken by another trap camera of a different brands and under slightly different angle of view, have already been published on my channel, https://youtu.be/taoJDXZQx5s
-----------------------------------------
Dans la forêt gabonaise, Anne-Marie et Xavier Hubert-Brierre ont installé des grands miroirs afin de filmer sous différents angles avec des caméras équipées de détecteurs de mouvement, les réactions des animaux face à leur image. Cette idée novatrice a séduit des primatologues, spécialistes du comportement, dont les études, sur la reconnaissance de soi, ont réalisées jusqu’à présent en laboratoire sur les animaux sauvages en captivité, habitués à une présence humaine.
Devant nos miroirs les animaux sauvages s’y rendent comme bon leur semble et y restent à leur guise de jour comme de nuit.
Chez les humains la reconnaissance de soi dans un miroir n’est pas immédiate : Pour le tout jeune enfant, une période « d’apprentissage au miroir » sous les regards rassurants de sa mère, est nécessaire.
Chez les animaux sauvages, les mères n’ayant, elles-mêmes, pas suivi cet apprentissage, se reconnaître dans un miroir est beaucoup plus difficile d’autant plus qu’ils n’ont pas la parole pour expliquer et rassurer leurs enfants.
Prenons l'exemple d'une famille de gorilles : Les mâles adultes voient en leur image un étranger venu s’emparer de leurs femelles. Par contre les jeunes voient en leur image un ami, un compagnon. Ils n’hésitent pas à toucher la surface plane du miroir, à passer le bras derrière le miroir pour tenter de toucher leur image.
Rebekah, une jeune étudiante du Professeur Jim Anderson de l’université de Sterling en Ecosse, conclue dans sa thèse réalisée sur nos vidéos d’un jeune mâle gorille face à nos miroirs : « ce gorille a démontré la capacité à se reconnaître »
(extrait de sa thèse : Continuing observations and behavioural measurements of further mirror exposures for this adolescent, male gorilla would be valuable as it would monitor his development in behaviour and enable further gathering of evidence to demonstrate that this gorilla can recognise himself).
Pour les fanatiques de léopards/panthères, je publie une vidéo de 19 minutes contenant toutes les prises de vue (assemblées bout à bout) devant ce miroir de ce félin de 13h avant sa rencontre avec les éléphants, pendant le face à face et après jusqu'à son départ du miroir à 23h : https://youtu.be/aYkF84-adOo
Egalement une seconde version courte prise par une autre caméra piège d'une autre marque et sous un angle de vue légèrement différent, a été publiée sur ma chaîne, https://youtu.be/taoJDXZQx5s
