Elephants can recognize themselves in a mirror.

This is considered a sign of self-recognition, a surprisingly rare ability in the animal kingdom.

Researchers have tested elephants by secretly putting a mark on their bodies that they couldn’t see directly. When given a mirror, the elephants used it to inspect the mark on themselves—rather than treating the reflection as another elephant.

Only a small number of animals have shown convincing evidence of mirror self-recognition, including great apes, dolphins, elephants, and some birds.
