What do animals see when they look into a mirror? It takes a good deal of sophisticated integration of information about yourself and your own movements and what you're seeing in front of you in that glass. That's why it takes human babies 18 to 24 months to catch on to what they're seeing in the mirror.
Amazingly, some animals have also cracked the code: Dolphins, elephants, magpies, and some great apes know they're looking at themselves in the mirror.
