YEP! That's it! These are the only species which have been documented by behaviorists to demonstrate awareness of
self, and recognize their own reflections in a mirror. This indicates and extremely high degree of intelligence and is considered to be one of the indicators of the most intelligent species. With Jumpers, it is no surprise, considering that in some species, their brains occupy nearly 65% of their total body mass!
