Scientists reveal that the Elephants share a character trait that, so far, has only been found in humans ,apes and dolphins. It has been proved, using accepted tests, that elephants are self- aware.
“There are standard tests we use to prove self awareness” said a scientist,
“We start by putting a mirror in front of an elephant. At first they treat is as an other animal, so females are used as males tent to go for the mirror. After a while we see her making “repeat actions” to see them copied in the mirror. The next test is the "mark test"; a white mark is painted on different parts of the face and each time she rubbed that part with her trunk but the incontrovertible proof  of self- awareness came from the last test. We had an expert in communication “translate” the elephants calls and movements as she looked at the mirror and came up with this sentence.
 “Does my bum look big from here”
When asked  to comment a scientist said "It is a well known fact that worrying about the size of your arse is a sign of superior intelligence.
