Wait until you find out ants pass the mirror test.
I didn't even realize they could see much at all tbh. I thought most of their navigation was through smell! This is a super interesting article!
Amazing, specially considering that gorillas either fight or flee their reflection on mirrors. There are videos on YouTube, quite entertaining btw.
One thing I like to do with my pets when they're young is play with them through the mirror so they can make the connection that kitty getting their neck scritched is the same kitty getting their neck scritched. There's nothing more rewarding than the moment they look at you through the mirror, then look up at you directly and then do that little slow eye close showing that they know you are also the same person.
Interesting stuff!
