Mirror, Mirror with Dora
January 31, 2025 by Jenna - Comments Off on Mirror, Mirror with Dora
Dora is a very silly, quirky gal. Whether it’s spinning in two circles before she walks somewhere or shaking her head back and forth to tell her caregivers that she doesn’t want something, Dora is truly one-of-a-kind. Today, I showed Dora a mirror as she loves to look at her reflection. Little did I know, I’d end with a 8+ minute video of jam-packed Dora footage.
You may be wondering… does Dora know she is looking at herself? Yes! There have been several studies on self-recognition concluding that chimpanzees can in-fact recognize themselves. As you will see in today’s video, Dora wanted to watch herself do everythingggggg while looking in the mirror, even poke an empty raisin board, just for fun.
