Drive Moment - When You Look In The Mirror, What Do You See? 

Loading player...
An interesting video online, highlighted the moment when various animals in the wild were brought face to face with a mirror for the first time. Among the animals was a leopard, bear, gorilla, baboon, and a monkey. Animals don't really see their own reflection much, which is why this was a shock to them. The leopard saw itself as a threat, and the monkey saw itself as a friend. While human beings are not animals, we also have our own unique perspectives when we look in the mirror.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Take a listen to what our Drive 959 Team and our listeners had to say about themselves!
