I know that there are several species of animals that pass the "mirror test", i.e. they recognize themselves in mirrors (dolphins, apes, corvids.). Has there been any tests using "funhouse" style mirrors that distort the image? Would a chimpanzee look in a wobbly mirror and be able to identify themselves?

I'm updating this rant from a few years ago regarding why I question animal testing. I get frustrated when people accept a scientist's opinion in support of animal testing simply because that person is a scientist. Do they work for a drug company that tests on animals? to be continued).

Most animals, including dogs and cats, cannot recognize themselves in a mirror, but a few species can, including chimpanzees, dolphins, and elephants. What is Self-Awareness?

I've finally decided to take the plunge and really learn about animal experimentation. Apparently, there is a lot of argument out there than animal experimentation is even good for humans. Many times tests fail. A drug may work on an animal, but fail miserably on a human. Or vice versa. It's essentially a crap shoot.
