A Conversation With Koko

[Aktungbby]

^Koko passed the primate Mirror Self Recognition (MSR)test at age 19!!...these days I see myself in the mirror and, at first, think....DADDY??!!

At age 19, Koko was able to pass the mirror test of self-recognition, which most other gorillas fail...Very few species have passed the MSR test. As of 2015, only great apes (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant, dolphins, orcas, and the Eurasian magpie have passed the MSR test. A wide range of species have been reported to fail the test, including several species of monkey, giant pandas, sea lions, and dogs.
