Have you ever seen a dog bark when he looked in the mirror? Or a cupan fish attacks its own reflection in the mirror. That is, the animals perceive themselves as opponents. Most animals don’t recognize themselves. However, that doesn’t mean everything is like that.
The initial research on animal self-recognition through mirrors was carried out in 1970, carried out by Gordon Gallup from the University at Albany. In research published in journals Science In this study, researchers tested anesthetized chimpanzees, then marked them with red dye on their faces.
When he regained consciousness, the chimpanzee examined the area he had marked in the mirror. This shows that chimpanzees understand that the reflection in the mirror is their own body.
After that, similar research emerged. Several types of primates pass the self-recognition test. Orangutans recognize themselves and even identify markings on their bodies, call a study 1973 entitled “Experiments on self-recognition in a mirror in orangutans, chimpanzees, gibbons and ceceral monkey species” carried out by Jurgen Lethmate and Gerti Ducker.
“(Primates of the) bonobo type (were) observed examining areas of their bodies, which they could not see using a mirror, in study in 1994,” wrote Live Science.
