TRIVIA
Asian elephants, magpies, and great apes are among the species that can self-recognize. Though dogs can recognize other animals or dogs in mirrors, they can't see themselves.
"Dogs are very intelligent and adaptable creatures who, like countless others, lack the cognitive development necessary to self-recognize visually, whether in a mirror, on a video, or in a photo," Liz Stelow, an animal behavior clinician at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of the University of California, Davis, said by email.
Studies that have tested whether dogs could use mirrors as tools to find food or their owners had mixed results.
It's not too surprising: Dogs evolved to communicate through scent, and smell is "more important for dogs than a visual recognition of 'self,'" Stelow noted.
Animals that show mirror self-recognition will often go through phases of discovery. One phase is what Reiss calls "the Groucho stage," in which animals repeat odd movements as they "seem to figure out that their behavior and the behavior of that guy in the mirror is related."
In the last stage, many animals seem to just want to explore their hard-to-see body parts—a result Reiss has seen firsthand in her research on captive Asian elephants and bottlenose dolphins.
For instance, study dolphins would orient themselves repeatedly from different angles in front of the mirror to see marks that researchers had made on their bodies.
"They kind of did a double take," each time showing interest in examining the mark, said Reiss, who has received funding from the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration.
The Asian elephants that Reiss studied would stand in front of mirrors and touch their tongue to the glass and examine the inside of their mouths, she said. "It's really remarkable."
Even if an animal can't see itself in the looking glass, some "appear to recognize another of their species in the mirror [and] therefore turn to the mirror for companionship," said Stenlow.
Some zoos have used mirrors to trigger mating and nest building among flamingos, which breed only when they perceive their colonies are of a certain size, she said.
Mirrors placed in a particular way can also reduce the anxiety of horses, according to Horse and Hound magazine.
