Roosters may have passed the self-recognition test.
Phys.org reports: "Prior research has suggested that very few animal species have the type of self-awareness known as self-recognition—where they see and understand that an image in a mirror is of themselves rather than another member of the same species."

1. Roosters may have passed the self-recognition test
  
  A team of neuroscientists and psychologists from the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Bonn, and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Bochum, both in Germany, has found possible evidence of roosters passing the self-recognition test. In their paper published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE, the group describes experiments they conducted with roosters and mirrors.
