For instance, monkeys cannot recognize themselves in the mirror, but great apes (chimps, oraguntan, gorillas, etc) do. Monkies try to attack or play with their reflection where as great apes groom themselves while watching their reflection. I find the distinction in the way the brain works from different levels of evolutionary development faschinating.

Yeah Tiggers done this now since he was ten weeks old he's now eight months old. It's still fun to watch.
