#1 – Mirror Test
Here’s a small selection of hilarious animal GIFs. We hope you find them as funny as we did!
The ‘Mirror Test’ is an experiment developed in 1970 to determine whether an animal possesses the ability to recognise itself in a mirror. It is a primary indicator of self-awareness and the only non-human animals that are known to recognise themselves in a mirror are the great ape family of primates, bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, elephants and European magpies.
Monkeys are known to to react to their reflection either with hostility or affection, as the picture above demonstrates!
