the saying an elephant never forgets comes from the practice of training an elephant by tying its back leg to a tree. it would fight and fuss and try to get loose until it would finally give up. from that day on, you could simply put a stick in the ground tied to a rope and tie it to the elephants leg and he would just stand there and not bother to try to get away.

Elephants are intelligent animals. They are one of the few animals that have self awareness, meaning it can differentiate its own self from other animals. Like when a dog sees its reflection and thinks it's another dog. That is not self awareness. It doesn't realize that it is looking at itself. The main way to be sure it realizes it is a reflection is to put something on the animal in a place where it can't see with its eyes, like the back of its head. If the animal uses the mirror to help itself remove the object it is self aware. If it thought the reflection was another animal in there with it it would likely give a cry for help or maybe even do nothing at all. There are also tests that involve mating to test self awareness but I'm not sure how they work.
