Do animals see their reflection?

If an animal can see of course it can see its reflection! However not all animals recognize it as its own. Only some animals such as apes, dolphins, and elephants pass the Mirror Test(a study that was done on very many and common species of animals). Cats, Dogs, and Human babies (Mirror Stage-birth until 18 months-psychology) will always fail the mirror test- there are always exceptions in rare cases.So it depends on what kind of animal recognizes their reflection as their own, and practicing can help in cases where they don't!

Can a lion disguise itself as an animal?

A lion is an animal. But your question is essentially 'can a lion disguise itself'. Most hunting done by lions is done by the females. They are skilled at moving furtively when their prey animal is not watching, and keeping still when the prey is looking in their direction. For moving objects are much more visible that a stationary one. The lion is only lightly disguised by its colour.


When would you need to quarantine an animal?

When The Animal Is Going To Be About To Die, Or When It Is Going To Be Eaton By Another Animal.Generally, an animal is quarantined if it bites a person or other animal & breaks the skin (makes it bleed). The local humane society can either put the animal in quarantine at the shelter itself or on an in-home quarantine.This is only done to verify that the biter does not have rabies or another infectious disease.The only other times an animal is put in quarantine is if you are traveling to another country, if the animal is vicious to people, or if the animal may have a disease that other animals/people can contract.
