Here is a cute video of leopards discovering a mirror in the forests of Gabon for the first time (probably). These were probably two juvenile individuals, trying to figure out where the other kitties were hiding so that they could play with them. Like most animals, these guys don’t seem to be self aware – that is, able to recognize that the animals in the mirrors are representations of themselves. So far, it seems that attribute is limited to great apes, dolphins and humans, and maybe some birds.
