@zarkoff45 It's evidence that this macaca mulatta are self aware. It's also more evidence that self awareness has evolved along a continuum and that the mark test isn't sensitive enough. This video didn't show the mirror being moved for a closer inspection. Add this to pan troglodytes making spears and pan paniscus coordinating hunts while showing compassion towards each other. I read that archaeologists have found evidence suggesting homo heidelbergensis were socially similar to pan paniscus.
Imho, it did not recognize itself at all.

Very interesting. Is that a sign that the monkey is conscious?

Yes.
But it's not okay to put the monkeys in such tiny cages.
Monkeys should live free in the wild.
