Monkeys and self-awareness:
Monkeys, once they figure out what's showing in a mirror, which takes a little bit of time (and some instructions from their handlers too), they pass the mirror test for self-awareness with flying colors.
The monkey in the YouTube link below shows a rhesus monkey examining himself when looking in a mirror all the way to opening his mouth to examine it. They also do the mirror dot test on him too and when he sees the dot on his face via looking at himself in the mirror, he tries to rub it off. Humans can't do any of this until 2 years of age.

The monkey in the vid is a young juvenile.
