These activities are typical of humans as well, have you noticed any of this…? Always very funny.

• Efficient use of tools or devices: I bet you've not seen chimpanzees use sticks to extract insects from tree bark, or you have probably not noticed how dolphins use sponges to protect their noses while they are searching for food. These are just two out of millions of different ways animals use tools effectively, and of course, it is similar to the way we humans manipulate tools in performing manual tasks of any kind. I have watched this a couple of times in wildlife documentaries on Youtube.

• The art of communication: Just like humans, animals possess their unique style of communication between their social groups. Do you know that bees communicate their location of food through dance?
  Another interesting thing is most animals understand human language. They basically can communicate with humans via gestures and other vocals.
  You will see a dog responding to signals given by its master, and it's always a beautiful sight to behold. I do talk to our dog and she responds to the command by action.

• Nurturing and provisioning: Like humans, many animals care for and nurture their young ones. As much as humans, they try to provide sustenance for the growth and development of their young ones.

• Emotional bonding: Just as humans do, animals form emotional bonds that foster attachment, care and protection. For example, we see fowls treating their young ones after hatching them, they exhibit the same emotional concerns as humans do.
  These are just but a few, I'll appreciate in the comments sections, other ways you have noticed animals behave just like humans.
  Another huge question is why these animals possess these intelligent behaviours…?

Why do I think animals act the way they do?

A few years ago, when I was in Secondary school, I was thought that Scientists and researchers have it that, humans and animals share an evolutionary heritage which gives them the ability to do what they do. Well, I personally don't believe in evolution so I'm still going to work more on that to prove that theory.

Animals also have varying levels of cognitive abilities which helps them demonstrate a lot of complex social behaviours. It makes their actions human-like in nature.

Animals learn from one another including humans. They observe and imitate the actions of humans and behave as such. With this ability, they can mimic human behaviours and start acting the same. That's why you see animals being trained by humans to act and behave in a way. You see dogs used in wars or even as bodyguards.

Most times they are influenced by their environment to act in this way. However, even when animal and human behaviours look alike, there are underlying differences in cognitive capacities. Human beings as we all know, remain the most intelligent creature.

BUT, have you noticed how some of these animals remain peaceful and cooperative with other animals irrespective of their kind for instance the picture of Chriddi and her two pets has a lot of messages on it.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think humans can learn anything from this?
