What are you looking at? Watch the hilarious reactions of animals seeing their reflections for the first time

• A photographer set up a mirror, motion sensors and cameras in Gabon
• He then filmed what happened when wild animals approached the mirror
• Some - like the chimpanzees - coped with their own reflections
• But others became agitated, such as a gorilla that charged at the mirror

The experiment was performed by French photographer Xavier Hubert Brierre. He travelled to Gabon with his wife to set up a mirror in several locations and capture wild animals walking by.

To capture the images, he hid cameras in security boxes and set up motion sensors that would trigger the cameras whenever some wildlife walked close to the mirrors.

It revealed that chimps will use the opportunity to preen themselves while leopards and gorillas will paw and charge at the familiar-looking 'foe'.
