Video Description:

In this video, we document how Australian wildlife responds when encountering a reflective surface placed within their natural environment. Using remote trail cameras, a range of species including wallabies, kookaburra, possums, kangaroos, deer, and quolls were observed as they noticed and reacted to their reflections for the first time.

    It really doesn't matter what continent we are observing, it is always so interesting to see them in nature. The kangaroos were always so skittish as they approached themselves. Thanks for taking me on the adventure Mel. Have a fantastic week!

    I did wonder if they had never seen their reflection in water before.

    It's funny how some of them reacted. I used to not mind mirrors, but now, now there's an old man in it!

  • Sandi Angel

    AMAZING--Loved it-and especially the animal that, and I know it was in defense, but seemed to say "I give up" with arms in the air.

  • Patricia Yager Delagrange

    They sure don't seem very interested in looking at themselves.

  • Kathy

    Amazing how animals react to things. Loved watching this video.
