This FIERCE gorilla was NOT having any of it.

While this fella was a bit vain and wanted to lick its reflection very intensely.

In comparison, this guy was a bit spooked.

"Nope. Not today!"

The photographer had to clean up the mirror after all that action...

The mirror is super clean, but this elephant gives zero fucks.

However, these guys seem to be the most interested, and were actually very in sync with each other.

And this leopard was clearly ready for a close-up!

"Oh, hey girl!"

But the clear winner of "that bitch stole my look" goes to...

The animal licking its own reflection and jumping from the top of the mirror is a leopard. An earlier version of this post misstated that it was a cheetah.
