Information: Funny video showing chimps inspecting themselves in a mirror. Enjoy watching as the bemused and curious chimps take a close look at their teeth, eyes and nostrils.

Chimpanzees are able to recognise themselves in a mirror. Initially, they may interact with the reflection as if it were an-other chimp, but over days, they begin to use the mirror for self-examination.

Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives and considered by most scientists to be the second most intelligent species on Earth, after humans.

The Center for Great Apes in Florida, is a nonprofit organization that provides a permanent home for rescued orangutans and chimpanzees
