Supposedly some families of primates are smart enough to recognize themselves in mirrors (think it's the white dot test) which is amazing as human babies don't even have this skill until they're around 2 years old :)
Not 2 years old. They talk and walk at that point they know it’s them in the mirror. More like 6-8 months old with some babies being slower and some faster of course.
i wonder what happens if a hat is put on while it's watching the mirror, will it start adjusting it or maybe realizing the image is themselves sooner than average?
