Once we look in a mirror we all know we’re taking a look at ourselves, however most animals can not grasp this. In truth, child people don’t acknowledge themselves in mirrors till about age two.
@KeepingItWild arrange an enormous mirror within the woods in Australia (i.e. “the bush”) and captured animal reactions. Curiously lots of the animals on this 8-minute video should not native to Australia. For example: purple deer, rabbits and pheasants.
The one animals recognized to have handed the mirror check are nice apes, a single Asiatic elephant, the Eurasian magpie, big oceanic manta rays, dolphins, orcas, and the cleaner wrasse (fish).
Sadly, in flight most birds are fully fooled. They fly into the reflection and die.
