Someone asked whether ferrets can recognize themselves in a mirror, as this is a sign of high intelligence. Please keep in mind that ferrets have very poor vision. I'm not sure if their vision would be good enough for it to even be possible. So it doesn't necessarily mean they lack intelligence, if they don't recognize their own reflection. In order to have recognition, they must be able to see it in the first place. I've put my ferrets in front of mirrors before, and they do not even respond to it at all. It's not like they can tell there is an image of a ferret there period. They rely much more on smell than sight. Just wanted to point that out for anyone who was afraid their ferret might be mentally challenged. Holly, Icarus & Cato [Posted in FML 5414]
