Watch: Epic footage of chimps spotting themselves in the mirror for the first time

Chimps having a 'dance off' after they have spotted themselves in the mirror for the first time is kind of epic. Wildlife experts Anne-Marie and Xavier Hubert-Brierre installed a series of mirror deep in the Nyonie forest, in Ecuador, to monitor the reactions of animals to seeing themselves for the first time. But they were stunned when they collected secretly filmed footage and spotted a group of chimpanzees having a dance off with their reflections. Motion-triggered cameras captured the animals who visited the mirrors more than 50 times. Xavier said: "Some of the chimps quietly observe their reflection, but the younger, more immature animals start to scream and shout. But they get more and more angry when they see the 'other' chimp copying the moves, and will try even harder to out-do them."
