Cotton-Top Tamarins and Hauser
The citation that shows the Cotton-Top Tamarin "failing" MSR is a bad link. More than likely, this is because the paper was withdrawn. Marc Hauser stepped down from his position at Harvard after an investigation into academic misconduct. It is widely agreed that all his work is under a cloud because of the way he mishandled scientific experiments. Similarly, I think Wikipedia should not cite Hauser.

Cleaner Wrasse
neither of the sources list the Cleaner Wrasse as passing the test. Further, all of the internet articles i have read so far (6 of them) say there is controversy surrounding the cleaner wrasse passing the test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100f:b11c:93a7:f4f4:94a5:173c:485d (talk • contribs) 16:58, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Should lead section include more species having passed MSR?
Currently lead section states - "..only great apes (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant, dolphins, orcas and the Eurasian magpie have passed the MSR test." This sounds as though its an exhaustive list. But clearly, as the rest of the page itself documents, there are at least a few other animals hat passed MSR - like magpies and ants. Should this part be updated or rephrased to indicate that its not a hard list? Chaos1618 (talk) 12:45, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Theorethically, yes. But it will cause a stir (see above). So for now, we left 2015 results. Smeagol 17 (talk) 22:59, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
