Answer 4

ahaha, this question is awesome.  The only thing is though, there is no possible way to know, because almost all of the answers will make assumptions about the thought patterns and brain of said monkey.  Personally though, i feel that there is one possible answer, and i shall here put it forth.  This situation is one that is natural for the monkey, for although there are no mirrors in a monkeys natural habitat, there are reflective surfaces.  Because of that fact, (that this is a naturally occuring situation) this question must have an answer, because this has a good chance of happening.  I would say that the monkey would recoil in fear/shock.  I say this because up to that point, the monkey would have had no reliable source of a self-image, and i am here making the assumptions that were stated as inherent in all answers to this question earlier, the assumption that a monkey has a self image.  anyways, ive rambeled on long enough,

Answer 5

He's curious and makes faces at his reflection. Then, he probably gets annoyed and breaks the mirror.

Answer 6

He eventually realizes it is himself he is staring at by performing a variety of cause/effect stunts.
