A bear sees itself in a mirror; watch what follows

A funny video of a bear jumping out of its skin after catching sight of its own reflection in a mirror is now going viral.

The video showed a bear come in front of a mirror placed somewhere in the wild, shriek out loud and recoil in fright at what it saw in it, and try to hide from it in confusion.

After it failed to evade the big brute in the mirror, the bear confronted it and pulled down and destroyed the mirror that was hanging from a tree. The mirror was placed in the forest as part of an experiment.


The video was first posted by an Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda. The caption of the original tweet was 'Bear failed the 'mirror test'.



The video garnered interest from many Twitter users, with many leaving some hilarious responses to it too. Here are some of the reactions.
