Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001•National Acad SciencesThe ability to recognize oneself in a mirror is an exceedingly rare capacity in the animal
kingdom. To date, only humans and great apes have shown convincing evidence of mirror
self-recognition. Two dolphins were exposed to reflective surfaces, and both demonstrated
responses consistent with the use of the mirror to investigate marked parts of the body. This
ability to use a mirror to inspect parts of the body is a striking example of evolutionary
convergence with great apes and humans.
