Change "self-consciousness" to "own-body concept"
This part should be changed: "When such animals view their reflection (mirror test), they recognise themselves and exhibit self-consciousness."

For reference "Animal Cognition: Evolution, Behavior and Cognition" by Wynne, Clive D. L., Udell, Monique A. R.:

"Thus, there are people who are unable to recognize themselves in mirrors, but whose self-concept is unaffected (prosopagnosics), and there are other people who struggle with some dimensions of self-concept, but who are well able to recognize themselves in mirrors (children with autism). Consequently, the mirror test cannot be considered a foolproof test of an animal’s (or human’s) self-concept. In so far as self-recognition in a mirror demonstrates anything, it shows that an animal has what we might call an “own-body” concept – it is able to differentiate between itself and the rest of the world. An own-body concept is something that most animals surely must have. The animal that knows when fighting that it should bite the other animal’s limbs, and not its own, must have some sense of where its own body ends and the other animal’s begins." A.
