@@luisjavierboterohernandez4683 No hablo español, pero uso software de traducción para responder a las preguntas en español. En general, las descripciones que se adjuntan a mis vídeos están escritas en inglés porque la mayoría de los usuarios de Internet las entienden y luego en francés, que es mi lengua materna. RU-vid limita la longitud de las descripciones y a menudo no hay más espacio para otra descripción. Acabo de comprobar y añadir una descripción en español.

Your compliment is a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me. As you may have noticed, we are not sitting comfortably in our armchairs, publishing, without any description, pieces of videos copied from the Internet and put end to end. A comment like yours cheers us up after my wife and I have spent days alone in the Gabonese forest for the maintenance of our mirrors and numerous cameras traps, changing memory cards, cells, batteries, cleaning lenses, removing fallen branches in their field of vision, walking up beds of creeks to find areas where animals are crossing over to install new traps etc... Drenched by tornadoes, the body covered with insect bites of all kinds (horseflies, gorilla flies, tsetse, black ants, magnan ants etc.) and unfortunately the number of cameras refusing to work increases because of the humidity rate of 95%. Then, back in the camp, we do the editing with for each video a description in English which is not our native language and then put them online to show the beauty of Gabonese fauna, talk about poachers, show how elephants who have managed to get away from a wire snare trap, treat the deep cut made by this trap, show how elephants pick mangos, self recognition in mirrors that is not innate both among humans than among primates and other mammals and so on... It's a choice. Thank you. Keep watching the other videos on my channel ru-vid.comvideos May I invite you to watch especially my videos which, unfortunately, have a very small number of views and are very informative like: First mud bath of an cute new born elephant with her mom and aunts: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2pj1VfkNJS4.html Fresh Water from Creeks triggers the urge to urinate in wild mammals: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DluIAy7k0l8.html Eaters of waterlilies: Buffalo, Elephant, Sitatunga: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oIH76mIIob4.html Can an elephant survive without half of its trunk lost in a poacher's wire snare? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5o9gWi8pZqE.html Before buying ivory jewellery or carved ivory objects: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2buTj7pNvHM.html and unfortunately there are many others in this case!

LOVE how the leapord develops a love/hate relationship with his mirror image, sometimes quarreling with it, sometimes taking a nap with it, sometimes purring & rubbing up against it with affection.
*Without these mirrors,* jungle life is cruel and monotony : These animals encounter other opponents in the jungle constantly. And those opponents (or prey) have actual claws, fangs, tusks, and horns to fight back with and shed blood. They fight or they flee or both. They fight amongst themselves within their own herds and prides regardless of species for food, status, for mating right and territory and might die in those encounters. *With these mirrors, I break the monotony of the daily life of some animals in this remote area of the gabonese rain forest. If the presence of my mirrors can disturb some species in the jungle, quickly many of them get habituated to it and even take pleasure to observe their reflection in my mirrors.* These wild animals can go to these mirrors, as they see fit and stay in front of them, as long as they wish. They are not tied as dogs with leashes, locked as dog or cats in flats especially with dressing rooms equipped with a full-length mirror! They are not imprisoned for life in pens or cages with the distraction of watching visitors standing behind their fences or bars, eating the food they have neither picked nor hunted as Harambe (a silverback gorilla), born in captivity and dead 17 years later, still captive , killed by a bullet in his enclosure! *_No food is placed by humans next to mirrors to encourage them to come._* I would like to point out that among the wild animals meeting these mirrors placed in this remote region of Gabon, some seem happy to look at themselves in these mirrors: as these leopards: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rE0QRf2pjqg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D-Aar9R5jbY.html as these chimpanzees: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z48pJP28SIg.html as these young gorillas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C3SQd1o_r00.html Look at how the silverback gorilla's behaviour has evolved near the mirrors his family is looking at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ORbg3fAE2SU.html Look at how the gorilla family's walking speed increases when they approach a mirror whose location they have memorized ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ORbg3fAE2SU.html Please do not forget to read the description attached to each of our 180 videos published on our channel ru-vid.comvideos

Tell me about it. When we still lived with our parents my youngest sister would be in the bathroom forever. I'd like to know what takes women so damn long in there. (That was before cell phones so she couldn't have been playing with her cell phone.) They should show consideration for others and realize other people need it too.
Fascinating video, many thanks. Elephants; "come away children - that looks dangerous"! Gorillas; "Argh, don't take any notice of that thing - it's human monkey junk"! Leopard; "I'll be aggressive" - reflection equally aggressive? "I'll respond by being submissive" - reflection equally submissive? "Reflection looks and smells like me - could it be a lost member of my family"? "Blimey, reflection looks so handsome - this thing is mine". "I'm exhausted - I really need to lie down and ponder this thing" :)
Leopard be like, I'mma fight you!, -after some huff and puff-> alright alright, I see we are evenly matched, how about we go our way? -some time passes-> damn, you didn't fall for it huh? -some stink eye exchange later-> ok, ok, maybe you are not that mean after all, how about touch nose and make friends? -some hours later-> dude!, you are my bestest buddy, I'mma fight the elephants for you! -runs away in panic, comes back later-> yeah, sorry about that, they were kinda big and scary, we are good though right? yay
*_A comment like yours is comforting_* - after reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors, - after my wife and I have spent days alone in the Gabonese forest to maintain our mirrors and many photographic traps, change memory cards, batteries, clean lenses, remove fallen branches in their field of vision, walk up the creek beds to find areas where the animals cross to install new traps etc...

4:31 - The trees start rustling like Jurassic Park, the leopard runs for it expecting the T-Rex and................ Baby Elephant comes out all gangsta!
The leopard cant' seem to figure out if it should be dominant or submissive, and it cant' figure out why the other leopard disappears when it goes behind the mirror. Remarkable.
🙏🙏🙏 *I appreciate the label you gave to my video.* This male leopard behaviour changes from one minute to the next, of desire for company, of desire to fight with a rival, an intruder in his territory who strangely has no smell and is mute. Or maybe this male rubs himself on the mirror because a female leopard in estrus did it earlier leaving her scent? He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he emits a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLus4bTWzfM.html On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 180 videos captured by our trap cameras fixed in the Gabon jungle. The majority of them show encounters of wild animals with our 6 large mirrors. After watching each of our videos, don't forget to read the description in english attached to learn more about the behaviour of the animals in front of their reflection.
Some people are so sensitive. It is literally a mirror in a jungle. It's not harming anyone, neither the animals or their way if life. It just adds something new and interesting to their everyday. Animals can get bored just like humans and this helps them explore a little more than what they are used to!
In this video the leopard faces a first family of elephants whose matriarch has crossed tusks (not perfect because her trunk cannot swing between her tusks) and later on a second family whose matriarch does not have perfect ears because her left one is partially cut out on its edge. Please Watch again ! Keep watching the 160 homemade videos published on my channel and don't forget to read each description attached to each of the videos: ru-vid.comvideos
I also love how the animals seem to understand that the mirror is a special object and stay close to it to investigate, at least until survival forces them to keep moving in search of food.
Daemia I know!!! You can also see that some are confused and think there is another animal behind the mirror, while others like elephants are just trying to protect it as they see value in it. Fascinating!
The elephants were protecting the “other elephants in the mirror” that they had seen, from the leopard! They didn’t want the leopard sharing those other elephants, not the mirror!
The leopard has become grateful for his friend in the mirror, as adult life is one of solitude for the male leopard, it's comforting to have a calm friend that's not trying to bite his head off.
To invite the females in heat, he has to make a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLus4bTWzfM.html On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 160 videos captured by our trap cameras fixed in the Gabon jungle.

*More "random" cameras would not bring more triggers and especially the main difficulty is that the detected animals do not stay only 3 to 5 seconds in the field of view of the trap* We are neither scientists nor veterinarians. We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years, to show on RU-vid the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it. Our first videos posted on our RU-vid channel essentially showed wildlife "passing" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The passage of an elephant in front of the objective of a trap for about twenty seconds is not particularly interesting. On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YkmPBl4NPv8.html (In Gabon front of trap cameras, elephants crossing Ndouni River). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection. I have put online two other shorter versions of this encounter between a leopard addicted to mirrors and a family of elephants walking on the path along our mirror number 6 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZAO_07GdSs.html same camera 2 minutes version 16 million views ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-taoJDXZQx5s.html an other camera of a different brand and under slightly different angle of view On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 150 videos shot by our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

This is beyond awesome. Thanks for creating and sharing this video. I only wish the mirror was taller as well so that large animals like the elephants can see themselves as a whole.
Leopard: Hello? Police? There's an incredibly handsome man in my house; oh wait a second. Don't worry. It's only me! Elephant: That's the third time this week, he's called us! Let's go take that mirror away!
The Leopard looked a little uncomfortable, although he marked and held his ground. " He looks about my size, and Just as pissed off as me! It could go either way".

Aux auteurs : ne tenez aucun compte des critiques ridicules qui sont formulées à votre encontre ci-dessous. Elles ne méritent pas votre diligence à répondre. On ne protège bien que ce que l’on connaît bien. Votre démarche est scientifique, intéressante, elle ne perturbe en rien le monde qu’elle observe, et nous éclaire vraiment sur certaines fonctions cognitives de ces mammifères. Par ailleurs, ce spectacle est particulièrement touchant. Bref, merci de votre travail et continuez à nous le faire partager...
Leopard - *"I know ur there, I can see u!* Leopard - *"ur delusional, there's no one here but u."* Poor confused leopard *"I'll wait"* House cats react similar untill they figure it all out. Great video. Thank u for shaeing.
lol mine didn't care. This leopard really got confused tho. At one time he was like "I'll stop here before this rectangle so the mean leopard won't appear" so funny
My cat used to look round the edge of the TV if there were big cats on the screen and they walked out of shot.. as if he was trying to figure out where they went. I think this leopard is doing the same thing when he keeps hanging around at the edge of the mirror. He thinks it’s another cat but can’t figure out where it goes.
In felines, lions are genetically programmed to live in a pride while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the pride. Leopard is solitary animal. These mirrors break a certain sameness in his life in the rain forest. Front of them this male leopard behaviour changes from one minute to the next, of desire for company, of desire to fight with a rival and of desire to mate.

I’m an elephant lover and can’t get over how merciful they were toward the leopard! They could have crushed him easily and yet they let him go. They were so cute with their big ears and trumpet noises! Who appreciates elephants the way I do? Elephant 🐘 ❤️Love

What I find interesting is, all the animals looked behind the mean in expectation of their opponent being behind the mirror. When the cat found none, she went so far as to mark her territory! You go girl!!
Leooard goes into existential meltdown and the elephants are somewhere between "do I look fat?" and "not sure I like this witchcraft, but damn sure the cat can't have it"
*After reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors, your feedback on my video encourages us to pursue our overwhelming and somewhat dangerous passion.* It is a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me.

In felines, if lions are genetically programmed to live in large family groups (prides), leopards are programmed to live alone, to be solitary felines. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the pride. This male leopard doesn't feel alone. He desires to fight with a rival and dont search an odourless mate. He only meets females during the mating season. To invite the females in heat, he makes a guttural sound called " sawing call ".

Leopard is solitary and territorial animal. So this male leopard doesn't feel alone. These mirrors break a certain sameness in his life in the rain forest. *Front of these mirrors this male leopard behaviour changes from one minute to the next, of desire for company, of desire to fight with a rival, an intruder in his territory who strangely has no smell and is mute. He dont search an odourless mate because to invite the females in heat, he just has to make a guttural sound called " sawing call ". This call also warns rival males not to enter his domain:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLus4bTWzfM.html On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 180 videos captured by our trap cameras fixed in the Gabon jungle.

Seems like the leopard is feeling totally lonely. I've watched the entire video and it seems that it stayed all day long interacting with his reflection thinking that it was another leopard.
no. its mainly an aggressive territorial reaction, indicated by posturing, ears back, scent marking, agitated tail flicking and low menacing growl. hes angry and wants to drive the other one away but its not reacting normally so hes confused.
In felines, lions are genetically programmed to live in a pride while leopards are genetically programmed to live alone. Lone lions are males who have been driven from the group. So this leopard male doesn’t feel lonely. He doesn't have the need for companions. He only meets females during the mating season. To invite females in heat he makes a guttural sound "sawing call". This call warn rival males to keep out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLus4bTWzfM.html On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 100 videos shot by our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

@@XHB06400CANNES he is playing. He knows it's a reflection. He already checked the boundries and know there is no other cat. My nephiew acts like this too.
*_A comment like yours is comforting after reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these sadistic mirrors_* This leopard's behaviour changes from one minute to the next, from contemplation of his reflection, from a desire for company to a desire to fight with a rival and then to a desire to mate. He can even spend the night in front of a mirror by checking from time to time for the presence of his reflection in the mirror. At that time this leopard is still in love with himself: watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0zVJlesWW_s.html on which the time stamp mentions the recent date of 04/17/2019 (In the Gabon jungle, a leopard in love with his reflection stays stuck to the mirror for 3 full days). Listen to another leopard sound similar to the exhaust from a KTM bike that having trouble starting: a guttural sound (produced at the back of the throat) to invite females in heat for mating and to warn rival males to keep out, male leopards emit a repeated sequence of roars called "sawing", because it sounds like a wood plank being cut with a saw : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLus4bTWzfM.html On our RU-vid channel ru-vid.comvideos are published more than 160 videos capture with our trap cameras in the jungle in Gabon.

Merci: fascinating! And may I suggest, according to your description, the video's title should instead be: "In the Gabon jungle, a leopard refuses to share a large mirror with an elephant family." Bonne chance!
Or maybe not? At first he thinks it is someone else. Then tries to understand how the other animal could be stuck inside a flat mirror. I wonder if Leo does ever come to terms that it is his reflection?
