Because they passed,

The ability to recognize its own image in a #mirror is a famous test to explore #conscientiousness in animals. It is still a contentious issue among biologists and psychologists, and there is a vivid debate about the existence of such advance cognitive skills in #fish. A new paper respond to previous methodological criticisms. #science #biology #cognition #animalbehaviour #wrasse #mirrortest #selfrecognition
