self reflexive animal consciousness. kya bat!
just proves the Wittgensteinian thesis that if cows had a god, it would be based on the likeness of a cow :-)
actually the frog line is my adaptation of a line apocryphally attributed to a legendary bengali author KamalKumar Mazumdar.

I don't know, but there's a bird called Cetti's Warbler (Cettia cetti)
whose call I've heard described as "Chit chit! I'm a Cetti's Warbler!"
(Like most Cettia warblers, it's difficult to see, let alone identify
by sight, but it's call is explosively loud and easy to recognise.)
