Animals reacting to mirrors

[Grand Conde]

There is an organization trying to make a new category for certain animals. The category would be "non-human persons"...basically those that have demonstrated that they are self-aware.

Elephants, Chimps and Dolphins would be included. I think it's a great idea. Those particular animals shouldn't be locked up in zoos.

No animals should be locked up in zoos but you can't just make a very rich and very popular industry disappear.

Wonder how long it would take for a human who had never seen a clear reflection of itself or others to realize what, or whom it was looking at.

breh there is a spider that builds a much bigger replica of itself with twigs and such in its web to ward off predators, it really shined a light on whether bugs are self aware or not.

i mean shyt, if was a spider and knew wtf i looked like, i'd kill anything that approaches me too

Gorillas don't have the "self"? Kind of surprised by that.

Ever consider all the evidence that we're more related to chimps?
