Having taken part in a thread that challenged the mirror test (I believe correctly). This Ambiguity throws up a question. If there are animals selfaware and animals not selfaware
means we have an awareness graph. This also means we have a point at which basic selfawareness starts.



Any ideas what that animal or genus might be?

Now for some real contribution.

Exactly what do you mean by, 'challenged the mirror test'? Do you mean that you are challenging the premise of the mirror test? If so, could you perhaps elaborate?

The thread is called mirror test of self awareness please read. you will see my point.

Besides a "real contibution" would imply an actual answer not a question of this uninformed type.

I know what the mirror test is. I am asking you to further your points on how exactly you suppose you challenged it. It's hard to formulate an answer if you don't clarify your OP.
