This kinda stuff is too good to pass up. And the big guy at the 1:56 mark, tell me we couldn't use him on either line this year, but I'm thinking more of a nose tackle.
OT: Animals Looking at Themselves In A Mirror Set Up In the Jungle

I KNEW you were paying attention! I'm bringing a big mirror to your tailgate (Mrs. has proof of said mirror) and we're gonna see how the natives react. Guarantee it someone leaves in tears.
HaHa! Couple of years ago we bought a new grill with mirror finish stainless doors. My Lab comes out on the deck as usual and then gets down low and starts growling and stalking his reflection in the doors. His reflection was ready for a fight too. What a riot!
That's fantastic.. a bit cruel for the birds.. they can really hurt themselves. But a great watch. Thanks.
Pretty much this. I wonder if they edited out the birds dying when they broke their necks
Sounded like the one just made a chirpey noise, then recovered and got back in the game. The other bird just looked at him.
I see two minutes of animal cruelty in that video. Mirrors aren't inherent in nature, so the animals don't see themselves in the reflection, they see something making aggressive moves toward them.
Animals aren't people. They don't have rational thoughts. They see something getting aggressive towards them & attack.

I suppose you're right about their being some animal cruelty in that video. Although hardly as much cruelty, apparently, as how we treat our food.
Also, attacking something that's attacking you isn't a rational thought? Hm. I think that the apes, seeing others they did recognize in the mirror, eventually figured it out, more or less. In fact, it seemed to me that the apes in that video had settled down and accepted the mirror after some indeterminate amount of time had passed.

The way the one cat came down from a tree branch those idiots are lucky they didn't become a slow and fatty meal!
I was thinking the same thing when the guy was washing the mirror, since the animals (esp. the chimps) were already somewhat infatuated with it.
Chimps were the ones that figured out that it was a mirror, despite never seeing a mirror before.
water pools act like mirrors.. not as good as the one that guy was cleaning.. but one might htink most animals have seen themselves in water pools.
