News in levels, New Research Suggests Giant Manta Rays are Self-Aware

New Research Suggests Giant Manta Rays are Self-Aware

You may have seen videos of animals displaying self-awareness before, but have you ever seen a fish do so?

A scientist from the University of South Florida in Tampa said giant oceanic manta rays may be self-aware. New research published in the "Journal of Ethology" on March 11 claims that two giant manta rays at the Atlantis Aquarium in the Bahamas displayed unique behavior when they saw themselves in a mirror. Study author Dr. Csilla Ari recorded footage of the rays swimming in the tank, both with and without the mirror. The fish appear to change their behavior in a way that suggests they recognize their own reflection, as opposed to thinking the image is a different ray.

While Ari points out that this test has been used to imply the ability for self-awareness in chimps, many are still skeptical. Gordon Gallup -- the creator of the mirror test -- said the rays may simply be showing curiosity.
