Foxie is a chimpanzee rescued by Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. She was used in biomedical research prior to her rescue. She enjoys looking at herself in mirrors.
This is a special moment. Chimpanzees and humans and few other animals are capable of understanding mirrors as providing reflections of self, not as other individuals of their kind. This is self-awareness and reflections.
i noticed someone is going to all of the videos here and putting a thumbs down on each comment. Clearly not as intelligent as our furry friends.

Ahh, I wish she didn't have to be in that cage.

Seeing a chimp with a mirror for the first time is always just awesome. Show's how smart they are and how quick they learn

Always a fascinating thing to see.
