The Mirror Test
Baby Brian has another go at passing the Mirror Test (this is his sixth attempt), but he can't work out what that other snail is up to.
The Mirror Test is a behavioral technique that attempts to determine whether an animal possesses the ability of visual self-recognition - the traditional method to assess self-awareness. Few animals have actually passed the Mirror Test, and as yet, snails are not among them.

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
