Title: Mice pass the mirror test, a classic indicator of self-recognition

Researchers report that mice display behavior that resembles self-recognition
when they see themselves in the mirror. When the researchers marked the
foreheads of black-furred mice with a spot of white ink, the mice spent more
time grooming their heads in front of the mirror -- presumably to try and wash
away the ink spot. However, the mice only showed this self-recognition-like
behavior if they were already accustomed to mirrors, if they had socialized with
other mice who looked like them, and if the ink spot was relatively large.
