00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's. So I was reading a story yesterday

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: about horses. Horses can recognize their reflection in the mirror,

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: and then when they see themselves, they haven't urged to

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: preen themselves in the same way that people do. That's

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: why you see them in the newspaper and they're a

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: ways smiling around Melbourne Cup time. Well, I always like

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: how the lights behind them and you see their big

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: chin hairs, and I think that's how I must look

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: in certain lights. But some of them even went behind

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: the mirror to see if they could see themselves behind

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: the mirror, and said that some even stick their tongues

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: out at the glass to be absolutely sure that that

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: mysterious horse in front of them is them. This is

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: highly unusual because they thought until now primates are the

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: only group identified to widely have this trait. Elephants, bottle

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: nosed dolphins, magpies, and a small fish called a cleaner

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: wrass have previously been found to be capable of recognizing

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: their mirror reflection. Imagine that trial with all the fish

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: in the world and they go, here's one. This one

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: does sees itself in the mirror. So the discovery was

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: made up. They painted an X on the cheeks of

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: fourteen horses. Yep, eleven of the group attempted to rub

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: it off when they looked in the mirror and realized

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: that they were seeing themselves. Wow, it's quite extraordinary, because

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: they said, this makes the horses reaction. This horse's reaction

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: means that they could be among the most self aware

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: creatures on the planet. And I'm not surprised to hear it,

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: because even before Instagram, mister Ed was one of the

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: very first influences. Really, yeah, don't you remember all this?

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 2: My name here's Ed. I got a bubble bath, a

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: mudpack of facial manicure, I got everything but a neglig.

32
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Looking majors to get his teeth white, teeth to white,

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: and loved a new shoe. Jonesy and Amanda's
