Chimps have passed the test because they can recognize their reflections — as can dolphins and elephants — but most other animals don’t. Today, a group of researchers published a study showing that chickens could pass a similar mirror test, [suggesting that they, too, are self-aware](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnHBCTP0TbaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8yNS9zY2llbmNlL3Jvb3N0ZXJzLW1pcnJvci10ZXN0Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzEwMjUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2MTAwJm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDgyOTQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmUdk4s5ZZjX0hlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). They came to that conclusion after discovering that roosters would cry out with warning at an image of a predator when another rooster was visible, but not in the presence of a mirror — which they appeared to know was their own reflection.
