Raph or anyone similar please be aware that you are victim of a hoax message or or perpetrating one that's exactly what I would do if I had thought of it so I really like history of zoos as well so when London Zoo was first opened it was obviously much more wild westy than modern zoos so they thought they would use zebras to pull people around in passenger carts and carriages and things you could play with the bears sometimes just let you.

The way to tell if they can tell that they are the animal in the mirror is by painting a dot on them. Then if they try and get rid of the dot, that's how they know. This was invented by a guy called Gordon Gallup, Jr. This was his innovation experiment in the 1970s. Although one of the first people to do it was Charles Darwin, who in 1838 went to London Zoo and entered an orangutan's cage with a mirror to experiment. Wow. That's been done all this time.
