Dolphins vain and smart
Dolphins vain and smart A new study has found that dolphins can recognize
themselves in a mirror. Dolphins are the first non-primate shown to
have self awareness. Two bottlenose dolphins at the New York
Aquarium used mirrors on the sides of their pool to examine
patterns drawn on their backs by animal psychologists. Researchers
reported that the dolphins often turned and twisted their bodies to
get a good look at the markings. MAY 3, 2001
