What if an animal sees itself and doesn't care? I'm looking at you cats. Cats tend to be olfactory too, if it sees itself in the mirror, but no scent then perhaps it just doesn't care? If cats see anything that isn't a reward or a threat, do they ever react? I'm not sure the mirror should be the gold standard.

Cleaner wrasse check their body size in mirror before deciding whether to fight, research demonstrates

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led team has demonstrated that bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) check their body size in a mirror before choosing whether to attack fish that are slightly larger or smaller than themselves.

On the importance of ecologically relevant protocols when studying animal cognition. The chicken passed a cleverly modified version of the mirror test for self-recognition.

Mirror, mirror, in the snow, who’s the prettiest penguin of them all?

It's #NationalPenguinAwarenessDay in the US, so we're sharing a recent story about wild Adélie penguins that might be self-aware. 🐧🪞❄️

Penguins Added to the List of Self-Aware Animals After Passing the Mirror Test

Scientists conducted the mirror test with a dozen of Adelie penguins in East Antarctica to see if they recognize their reflection. Check out the results of their experiments in this article.

The ability to recognize its own image in a #mirror is a famous test to explore #conscientiousness in animals. It is still a contentious issue among biologists and psychologists, and there is a vivid debate about the existence of such advance cognitive skills in #fish. A new paper respond to previous methodological criticisms. #science #biology #cognition #animalbehaviour #wrasse #mirrortest #selfrecognition
