They were flummoxed to meet their clones. Their antics were WILDLY different and put up quite a show! While some were quietly savage—like the thoughtful leopard, others were wildly cute—like the flustered gorilla.

The scene of chimpanzee itching its armpit tickles our funny bone. But the jumbo’s care-a-damn attitude even bewilders us. It simply shrugs off and takes its own path. How unperturbed it is !

But the gorilla, yes, it’s thrashing hard on the mirror. Hey mirror! You should think longer before you reflect!

After watching this, we can only say, they would give tough competition to the Evil Queen of Snow White! What do you say?
