Not just the negative with crows. I used to go to the same woods every day for 2 months straight. After about 2wks the crows stopped their warning calls and left me alone. However, if anyone else entered a 5 acre area from me they'd go crazy. I used that as a warning system if there were hunters in the area. Very useful animals. Also ravens will sometimes tell wolf packs where the prey is so they can snag a meal. I've seen many greedy people who would do the same.
reminds me of a coworker of mine: I bought a Kurig and brought it into work so everyone could use it instead of the old coffepot we had and this one coworker literally drinks about 80% of the little pods i bought. I also used to pick up lunch for my coworkers sometimes but i quit because she wouldnt pay me back half the time. The stupid thing is I took a pay cut so we could hire an extra person in the office (this same person) so it would lighten the work load :/
Corvids are great. We feed our neighborhood crows peanuts and we've even noticed them picking us up on tracking radar as we're driving home from time to time.
I heard a story several years ago of a young girl who always fed the crows in her neighborhood. Eventually, a man tried to kidnap her and the crows attacked him until he let up.
I did my senior project for college on paired calves vs. single housed calves. There is absolutely no reason not to pair calves together. There was little to no milk stealing, no notable increase in spread of diseases, and paired calves were a lot more calm and comfortable (they slept a lot more, which saved energy and therefore helped them gain weight). The farmers being stubborn over this frustrate me. It's cruel and there should be a law against housing any herd animals alone.
Is it individual farmers opposing it, or industrial farms? if it's the latter, then it's because having to retool their industry is a pain. They're not _evil_ (well, not _sadistic_), just greedy.
I'm not saying it's evil, it's just wrong to keep herd animals alone. Period. Look at what isolation does to dogs. They don't act normal. Cattle are not dogs, but they are social creatures, and they should have company. Having worked with calves for a few of my college classes, trained one for a semester, they can actually be very dog like at times (mine used to run up to the fence to greet me, even though because she was an older calf, she was kept with 4 other calves - and I never fed her treats once - she greeted me because she wanted human attention). The project I did was done at my college's farm. They don't really make any profit. What they make goes towards upkeep of the farm and feeding the cattle, and they don't have enough cows to even do that really. I'm sure most of the money comes from students paying for farm classes and donations. It would be very easy for them to put 2 calves together, because all I had to do was pull out a wall between the calves I paired up. Industrial places could do it too. Some already do. If they just have the standard outdoor metal pen with dog house set up it would be easy to double up and make their pen a little bigger so they can actually move a little. It is indeed about profit. But the practices are based on outdated facts. Calves that are paired aren't really more likely to get sick (It's a 5% chance or some other tiny number that can be easily dismissed). It's a poor excuse when good sanitation is the most important factor (of course dirty farms with paired calves will have more sick calves - cleaning is essential for any set up). Same for feeding/weight gain. It doesn't help if your single calves bounce around all day cause they're bored, lonely, and anxious. Better if they're lying down most of the day sleeping or grooming their fellow calf and are calm and content. That's the best way to grow them.
I had never even heard of single housed calves until today and I was raised on a farm, and have been to many others. Single housing is inhumane and insane, we generally have around eight in a large pen and would never even dream about separating them. Increased disease is a stupid reason, at least in smaller farms.
completely agree, there is no reason they should ever be alone. not only is it cruel, it's going to make them more stressed and more vulnerable to disease. I hate that some farmers are so stubborn as to not update their practices. it's so cruel
When I lived on Maui one day I was driving up a 4x4 Jeep trail when I came across a tiny little baby wild piglet in the middle of the trail. When she saw my truck she ran straight up to it. Pigs have rather poor eyesight so I'm guessing the movement attracted her she thinking my truck was mom. When I stopped and got out I think she realized her mistake and hid in the tall grass on the should of the trail. I just reached in and grabbed her, and as she screamed bloody murder jumped in the back of my truck to see if a protective mother would show. If mom showed I'd give her back but I know she would not survive long without her momma. After waiting for about 15 minutes I decided to take her home. She was amazing in intelligence and personality. She adopted me as her new dad right away and she became my shadow following me everywhere with her clicking little hooves making an adorable sound like little high heels. I named her "High Heel Lucille". Back to the subject When she was just about 5 months old she started going into heat and what I discovered was that female pigs get PMS every moth for several days just like human females. Every month like clockwork for several days she'd get all cranky and moody n Then after 4 or 5 days she revert to her lovable self. I asked a vet if I could have her spayed but the vet said she was already too large and strong to deal with, that I should have had her spayed when she was small. I put up with her few days of moodiness each month for several years until I had to move back the Oahu to take care of my ill parents. I found a nice rural home for her. This was over 10 years ago. I hope she had a great life after me. I still miss my stupid lovable pig Lucille.
I don't know whether to feel outrage for the female penguin taking advantage of the male like that. Or aghast at the gullible male for allowing himself to be used. (not here to fetish-shame him, if that was his thing)
I doubt that cats feel guilty, but they bloody well know, when they should. They are way more carful, when they did some mischief. Moreover, I've seen cats grief (lack of activity, weight loss, sitting at the favorite spot of the deceased...)
They certainly grieve, one of my cats died and the other one has never been the same, his personality totally changed. He got more anxious, clingy, less adventurous, and it took weeks for him to stop walking around the house wailing for her and checking her favorite spots over and over again. It's like I lost two cats.
I remember my cats looking for my dog after he died, they would go into the study to try and find him since for the last year or 2 of his life he tended to just lay on the sofa in there.
Hell, there are entire groups of humans that I doubt experience true "guilt feelings". Frankly, I think a scolded cat or dog shows more remorse (expression/admission of guilt) than certain humans have been known to do.
@Jeremy Mason There's more than one kind of empathy. Understanding how someone feels doesn't mean that you have to feel the same. Cats are medium-sized predators and have been domesticated, thus it serves them well to be able to read when humans, or e.g. dogs get angry... Also, some predators do seem to care about their own kind, this is particularly beneficial for raising their cubs, but also, if they are willing to hunt together (which can greatly increase their success-rates). PS: there's a reason that many domesticated animals are at least semi-carnivorous. It is very difficult to tame animals that are only prey and the same goes for apex predators. Dogs are probably the best example of a suitable species for domestication. With cats, it's a very different story and in some way, they rather domesticated us... In all seriousness, dogs have learned to understand and carry out commands, and cats have learned to judge us and assess the situation. Street cats are the best example. Some are still tame enough to get petted and beg for food, but they know how dangerous this world can be and thus they have exceptional situational awareness... Oddly enough, I did see from street cats organized behavior, both in the acquisition of food and fighting against dogs. This is something cats in the wild are not known to do.
As pinguins are birds and birds are dinosaurs (and close to the raptor family) ... imagine now that could have happend with T-rex, raptors or even ... even the Jurassic World's Indominus Rex ... You'll never see Spielberg's movies the same way than before. THAT IS REALLY TERRIFYING IMO !
then again, so is funeral cannibalism, but some cultures do that too, so ...also, I can kind of see where the train of though is for that sort of ritual: (if you take their flesh with you, they're still a part of you). Is that bad?
It seems penguins are not the only species that trades sex for anything other than food: "When taught to use money, a group of capuchin monkeys responded quite rationally to simple incentives; responded irrationally to risky gambles; failed to save; stole when they could; used money for food and, on occasion, sex. In other words, they behaved a good bit like the creature that most of Chen's more traditional colleagues study: Homo sapiens." "Monkey Business" by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt June 5, 2005 The New York Times Magazine
that's really all that money is: a token that says you can trade this in for X amount of things. It's only very recently in human that money has been detatched from the idea of directly purchasing goods or services
Dolphins do the same. Though, dolphins will have a group orgy for any old reason. I swam into one accidentally while open water swimming, and was totally shocked. I mean, everybody had everybody, the only reason I got out of the swarm of sex was probably because that particular group wasn't into humans. But I had a friend who said he got sexually assaulted by a female dolphin once, so I guess it happens. Anyway, when I got back to the beach, the life guard and I were laughing about dolphin floozies, and he said the females ho with as many males as they can, so then all these guys guard her family. The males encourage it, and they form alliances. So not only do they whore, they also pimp.
I have noticed that my dog frequently sneezes when she is excited and wants to go for a run. This usually quickly escalates into uncontrolled barking. I wonder if there has been anything has been ascertained about sneezing/snorting behavior in dog species other than the African wild dog and the wolf/domestic dog in particular. A quick web search suggests only superficial research.
Maybe the sneeze is a dog equivalent of a chant. Something like "YEAH! Let's do it!" I think with the African wild dogs it's that they are getting themselves riled up for a hunt.
With Chimps the dominant males actually rule by the females and use their power to get their consent and submission. Like with many human societies the barrier between agreement and surrender can be blurry. However if a male is especially cruel he can and will be kicked out. Also just like humans the bond between mother and child never goes away completely and older females that have one or even more children that are dominant males often have a lot of sway.
The bit about crows also applies to Australian magpies. Leave them alone for long enough and they'll learn you're nothing to worry about and stop swooping you during nesting season. I haven't been swooped by the ones near my house for years.
> Says that we shouldn't anthropomorphize cats. > Proceeds to anthropomorphize several animals with marginally human-like behaviors for ten minutes. Is it just me or does holding a grudge *not* mean the same as having an acquired fear for potential predators?
You realize the grudge was only for the people wearing the mask right? If it was an aquired fear for predators as you say then they would've been squawking and dive bombing any human that passed by,
We used to have these large bell shaped flowers outside the front porch. Humming birds used to go inside them to gather nectar. One day one went inside and I ran up and cupped my hands around the flower and caught him. I released him after a couple minutes. After that for the entire summer, if I was outside on the porch, it would fly by and bop me on the head before moving on. It certainly remembered who I was.
What's odd is humans imagining they exist outside of the continuum of emotion that bathes the entire animal kingdom. Those bees are really just stressed out. Those dogs really are voting. Those dolphins really have names they give themselves. Humans, think we're more special that we really are to our own detriment. Wouldn't it just be better to share these sincere and natural behaviors and reactions and emotions and personalities with the rest of the animal kingdom? I don't see any compelling reason not to. Lighten up, we're not that special.
Reference to the scientific void where once we reach a state of scientific blossoming we realize that in fact we barely even scratched the possibilities of what is possible.
We ultimately judge animals by how human they are. There is no denying that we are the dominant predator. We have the most advanced brains and abilities from those brains. Is it that unfair that we hold up ourselves up as the ultimate standard?
Nathan Jacquart Like people who trust their dogs around their children because they're so nice. :). Just Google "dog kills baby". At least cats don't kill babies.
I'm sure those few dogs who killed people represent all ~90million domestic pet dogs in the United States, just as every thief, rapist, and murderer represents all of humanity...
@@helmaschine1885 Cats are psychopaths, they kill for sport not for food or protecting. Trust me, if your cat was big enough it would tear you to shreds and not feel any guilt
These comparisons tick me off. Non-human animals have been around far longer than humans. All those social behaviours we claim as ours arose from them, not us. So they are not like us, we are like them.
Researcher 1: "What have you been doing?" Researcher 2: "I've been telling young cows they're useless and nobody likes them and life is unfair." R1: "What happened?" R2 : "They started wearing black eye shadow and listening to the 'Cure'."
I read this one story where some guy buys fries for some random flock of crows and being a absolute jerk to another other flock and was holding a massive grudge on the anonymous person and the flock he was nice to PROTECTED him. And after a few days there was a massive gathering of crows on his side and the other flock on the roof of his apartment, then an actual war on crows versus crows ensued, the anonymous man was watching as crows fought and fell to the ground dead and after the war, his side won and bought 2 big fries batches for celebrating victory. It's probably not true, but man that's quite a nice story.
i think sometimes we take the "don't anthropomorphize" thing too far. i used to have a dog called Sophie for example. one day i found her on the dining table with her head in the previous nights pizza box, when i made a sound sh turned to look at me, froze for 3 seconds bolted for her bed in the laundry and stayed there till i closed the door. (she had a dog door to outside and put outside was standard punishment) it was clear to me that she knew she had done wrong and wanted to minimize the consequences by taking a punishment quickly. smart dog, she was allowed on couches and chairs and had never been told not to stand on the dining table. if a human took those actions you would assume they ether felt guilty or afraid of punishment, both of which are emotions are are told we should not anthropomorphize onto animals because they don't necessarily feel things the same way as we do. but i don't know that you feel guilt and fear the same way that i do either. it is even more obvious with pain and fear of pain. almost all animals will flinch away from a sharp or hot object, and they will expend energy or abandon desirable food to avoid repeated exposure to situations that would cause us pain. while we cant know the internal experience of the animal but we know that the result is avoidance in the short and long term in exactly the same way as we behave when we experience pain and fear. given that the responses are so similar why would we expect the internal experience to be so fundamentally different, "alert damage incoming, avoid immediately", "alert, potential for damage in vicinity avoid" all that said we do need to be careful. many emotions don't have quite such obvious reactions. cats of cause don't feel guilt, they are all sociopaths mooching of your kindness who will use you as a scratching post and still expect to be fed.
Edward Doernberg Yeah, was gonna say this applies a lot more to cats than dogs. Dogs are much more social and have evolved (artificially selected) with humans for thousands of years. They definitely can feel guilt when confronted with something they did wrong. Cats do not behave this way, despite many cat owners seeming to have convinced themselves that they do. They're just not as similar to humans as dogs are.
Nuturi - That's not particularly true. When my cat does something wrong and I grab her by the scruff of her neck and take her to the crime scene, she begins to gently flail about because she knows it was her doing and punishment is upon the horizon. Dogs are dumb animals and show their guilt immediately while cats won't show their guilt until the evidence is directly upon them. Cats are not as strong as dogs and hence have developed to be more cunning and sly. Just like humans. Cats are, after all, one of the most ancient of all domesticated species of non-human animals (Egyptian era and beyond).
this is where we start to loose detail on what emotion is being felt. in humans guilt is an emotion you feel when you have done something you no you should not have done, regardless of whether there is any chance of punishment. guilt (usually) is about empathy for others. fear of punishment is an emotion you feel when you know somebody might punish you, regardless of whether you actually did the thing for which you could be punished. fear of punishment is (usually) about personal loss or discomfort. it is possible to feel both of these at the same time. in the case of my dog Sophie i believe she felt guilt and a small amount for fear of punishment. in the case of VileDestruction's cat i suspect it was feeling fear of punishment because it knew it had done something you punish it for. why do i believe these things. because dogs are pack animals who have empathy for there pack mates, and cats are solo hunters that tolerate others only occasionally. no, it is because i am a dog person, i once caught a cat fishing in my goldfish pond. and Sophie would give me more genital attention when i was feeling bad. we cant tell which emotion they feel in these circumstances, but i am confident that it is one of those 2.
Edward Doernberg, I agree we do "fear anthropomorphization" to much. And thats because we take many features as "only" human. Many emotional attributes, for example, have been widely shown in basically all mammals. But common sense keeps thinking they are "human attributes". Same goes for several levels of logical thinking. We are not angels unconnected to other animals. We are made from the same stuff, we only do a handfull of stuff in a real unique way (like, math or nosediving...). We gotta naturallize ourselves more, then we'll not fear "anthropomorphise too much" anymore
Augh!, I was going to call out an error on the African dogs. I thought that was a picture of Striped Hyenas. I went on a rant, about how hyenas are *not* dogs. To get my facts straight I looked it up and saw the picture was correct. Those are African Wild Dogs. I'll add this tidbit for people who don't know, but Hyenas are not dogs, but are in the cat-like suborder with their own family. (Suborder: Feliformia Family: Hyaenidae) Cats are also in the Feliformia suborder. (Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae) Dogs are in the dog-like suborder (Suborder: Caniformia, Family: Canidae)
Joshua Walker I think I can assume the majority who watch this schishow can distinguish a hyaena from an African wild dog and the majority also know that hyena are closer related to cats. Maybe you should rant at some other video where people are clueless and don’t care for science. Anyways I don’t think rant about something is appropriate. If you would had said educate people it wouldn’t been different don’t expect others to know about something no one is born knowing and sure you also learn from some animal show but it was born knowledge
They're not, they're probably the most geared towards younger audiences so if you're in middle school with a very limited knowledge of biology or psychology or whatever the related subject is I'm sure you would find it more interesting than the other hosts.
2 makes me cri. Why we raise in lonely cages for mass production if the companies have the money to change things ever so slightly for the aninals and their final days. :( Note: not a vegan or vegetation
I remember reading about a study involving cappuchin monkeys. The researchers were studying gambling, and at first they just gave the monkeys treats directly. Then they started giving them coins which the monkeys could exchange for treats, simulating money. One day a monkey grabbed a tray of coins and threw it out into the communal cage. A male picked up a coin, gave it to a female, and then the two had sex. The female then took the coin to a researcher expecting to exchange it for a treat. The researchers had just witnessed the first recorded instance of animals using money to pay for sex.
"Oddly similar"? Why phrase things like we're not animals and tangents are mind blowing? Any creature with 2 eyes, four limbs . A face, a neck, and eyelashes. Is essentially my cousin. As far as im concerned.
So, we're gonna shake bees until they're confused and terrified, and then be surprised when they behave differently after this trauma? Good job, science.
So... performing courtship rituals without copulation, repeatedly, while taking stuff from the male... in other words, she was playing him, stringing him along and leading him on for her own benefit. Yup, I know at least one human woman like that...
If you think about it, crows and humans *do* hold grudges for the same reason. Crows do it not not get hurt emotionally, and humans hold grudges to not get hurt emotionally.
I've posted 3 comments that have been hidden from view (censored) regarding the small hanging shiny round facial feature thing and this comment wasn't censored. I guess because I didn't use the word that describes it in this comment.
I’m glad to read the number of comments pointing out that we may “fear anthropomorphization too much”. Some animals display metaconsciousness, some display altruistic behaviors, so with such significant commonalities I think the danger of over emphasizing “human exceptionalism” should also be a consideration. Only a decade ago college anthro courses still taught students that tool use was exclusive to humans and it’s clearly not, as can be seen in any number of easily searchable youtube videos.
#1 I like to park in a spot overlooking the ocean. One day I tossed some unshelled roasted peanuts to a crow. It took one and flew about 30 feet away and buried it in sand. Moments later another crow flew to that spot and stole the peanut.
SciShow - I've owned many dogs in my life, but my current dog is the first that displays the odd 'sneezing' assent behavior that you describe in connection to African wild dogs. If I display behavior that he associates with a pleasurable activity, he will start 'sneezing.' All I knew was that he did this for the pleasurable activities! Are there other domesticated breeds that regularly do this? My boy is a mutt, but I figure this could lead me to a more concrete clue to his genetic makeup.
Dead Parroting That's funny. Every dog I've ever had did the sneezing thing. They always do it when just starting playing or when someone they love enters the house. I could even get some of them to start sneezing by saying "Ahhhh PUFF!!!" to them. You should try it! All my dogs loved it! 😊 I had always heard that sneezing in domestic dogs is a way they evolved to let the other dogs around them know that they are happy, so when they start playing everyone knows that no one is really fighting and its all in good fun. This seems to really fit with all my dogs' behavior. OK, I gotta jerk off.
I think "cautious" would be a better word to use rather than pessimistic. After a traumatic incident, it's more likely for an organism to be on it's toes instead of having a negative outlook on life. =)
The fact that we see these behaviors as "holding grudges", "gossiping" or "being pessimistic" is just anthropological imperialism at play. We're imposing our narrow human viewpoint on those animals.
There are ants that practice agriculture, and will “ herd “ other insects like aphids, leafhoppers, and mealy bugs for honeydew. There’s even certain species that grow their own crops and will weed and tend to it, like a human farmer.
Related to holding grudges, my best friend has a cat. When she (my friend) was taking a bath like 8 years ago, her sister pushed the cat into the bathtub. Her cat has hated her sister since
6 Penguins are destitute at best. Any choices made to fulfill your needs when REALITY has you pinned down like they are.... Nothing but compassion and empathy from me.
my dogs 'sneeze' to say yes. for example if i say "do you want to go outside? " if they want to, theyll 'sneeze/snort' to say yes, just like those wild dogs!

I remember my cats looking for my dog after he died, they would go into the study to try and find him since for the last year or 2 of his life he tended to just lay on the sofa in there.
Hell, there are entire groups of humans that I doubt experience true "guilt feelings". Frankly, I think a scolded cat or dog shows more remorse (expression/admission of guilt) than certain humans have been known to do.
@Jeremy Mason There's more than one kind of empathy. Understanding how someone feels doesn't mean that you have to feel the same. Cats are medium-sized predators and have been domesticated, thus it serves them well to be able to read when humans, or e.g. dogs get angry...
Also, some predators do seem to care about their own kind, this is particularly beneficial for raising their cubs, but also, if they are willing to hunt together (which can greatly increase their success-rates).
PS: there's a reason that many domesticated animals are at least semi-carnivorous. It is very difficult to tame animals that are only prey and the same goes for apex predators. Dogs are probably the best example of a suitable species for domestication. With cats, it's a very different story and in some way, they rather domesticated us... In all seriousness, dogs have learned to understand and carry out commands, and cats have learned to judge us and assess the situation. Street cats are the best example. Some are still tame enough to get petted and beg for food, but they know how dangerous this world can be and thus they have exceptional situational awareness... Oddly enough, I did see from street cats organized behavior, both in the acquisition of food and fighting against dogs. This is something cats in the wild are not known to do.
I am now scarred by the mental image of a penguin lap dances...
As pinguins are birds and birds are dinosaurs (and close to the raptor family) ... imagine now that could have happend with T-rex, raptors or even ... even the Jurassic World's Indominus Rex ... You'll never see Spielberg's movies the same way than before. THAT IS REALLY TERRIFYING IMO !
You have a vivid imagination. How bout penguin Kim kardashian?
Not lap dances, but rather POLar dances.
They do it to put themselves through college
I am now aroused by that image
No mourning elephants? Expected that as an entry.
yeah me too... but then they probably already covered that -->> th-cam.com/video/Q7LK2kKv2IE/w-d-xo.html
Also, elephants aren't the only animals that have been observed to mourn their dead.
Yup, corvids (crows and ravens) mourn their dead as well. And the way they do it is a bit creepy for some human observers.
Whales and swans and some dogs, too.
then again, so is funeral cannibalism, but some cultures do that too, so
...also, I can kind of see where the train of though is for that sort of ritual: (if you take their flesh with you, they're still a part of you). Is that bad?
It seems penguins are not the only species that trades sex for anything other than food:
"When taught to use money, a group of capuchin monkeys responded quite rationally to simple incentives; responded irrationally to risky gambles; failed to save; stole when they could; used money for food and, on occasion, sex. In other words, they behaved a good bit like the creature that most of Chen's more traditional colleagues study: Homo sapiens."
"Monkey Business" by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt
June 5, 2005
The New York Times Magazine
I was about to say that but you beat me to it.
that's really all that money is: a token that says you can trade this in for X amount of things. It's only very recently in human that money has been detatched from the idea of directly purchasing goods or services
They were trained to do it. That hardly counts.
Weren't they taught they could swap those tokens for food? From the female monkey's PoV that means that the trade _was_ for food.
Dolphins do the same. Though, dolphins will have a group orgy for any old reason. I swam into one accidentally while open water swimming, and was totally shocked. I mean, everybody had everybody, the only reason I got out of the swarm of sex was probably because that particular group wasn't into humans. But I had a friend who said he got sexually assaulted by a female dolphin once, so I guess it happens. Anyway, when I got back to the beach, the life guard and I were laughing about dolphin floozies, and he said the females ho with as many males as they can, so then all these guys guard her family. The males encourage it, and they form alliances. So not only do they whore, they also pimp.

I have noticed that my dog frequently sneezes when she is excited and wants to go for a run. This usually quickly escalates into uncontrolled barking. I wonder if there has been anything has been ascertained about sneezing/snorting behavior in dog species other than the African wild dog and the wolf/domestic dog in particular. A quick web search suggests only superficial research.
Maybe the sneeze is a dog equivalent of a chant. Something like "YEAH! Let's do it!"
I think with the African wild dogs it's that they are getting themselves riled up for a hunt.
With Chimps the dominant males actually rule by the females and use their power to get their consent and submission. Like with many human societies the barrier between agreement and surrender can be blurry. However if a male is especially cruel he can and will be kicked out. Also just like humans the bond between mother and child never goes away completely and older females that have one or even more children that are dominant males often have a lot of sway.
The next time you are feeling pessimistic or having a hard time selling your body for rocks at least you'll know you won't be alone :)

What about 10 humans with oddly animal behavior? Could do a whole episode just on Politicians.
Humans are animals after all.
Deanna Demets - Right. It shouldn’t be a mystery why some animals share human behaviors. We’re all related - some more closely than others.
The bit about crows also applies to Australian magpies. Leave them alone for long enough and they'll learn you're nothing to worry about and stop swooping you during nesting season. I haven't been swooped by the ones near my house for years.
> Says that we shouldn't anthropomorphize cats.
> Proceeds to anthropomorphize several animals with marginally human-like behaviors for ten minutes.
Is it just me or does holding a grudge *not* mean the same as having an acquired fear for potential predators?
You realize the grudge was only for the people wearing the mask right? If it was an aquired fear for predators as you say then they would've been squawking and dive bombing any human that passed by,
I fed a turtle in the local pond once and the next day there were 20 following just me at the park.
We used to have these large bell shaped flowers outside the front porch. Humming birds used to go inside them to gather nectar. One day one went inside and I ran up and cupped my hands around the flower and caught him. I released him after a couple minutes. After that for the entire summer, if I was outside on the porch, it would fly by and bop me on the head before moving on. It certainly remembered who I was.
Some of the penguins turn to a life of crime!
Warpwaffel not a crime to them
Search for this phrase on TH-cam and you will understand. O.O
Warpwaffel all i found was some penguins stealing from others which is adorable
Exactly! :D

Olivia your way of speaking and facial mannerisms made this video much more enjoyable. Thank you.
What's odd is humans imagining they exist outside of the continuum of emotion that bathes the entire animal kingdom. Those bees are really just stressed out. Those dogs really are voting. Those dolphins really have names they give themselves. Humans, think we're more special that we really are to our own detriment. Wouldn't it just be better to share these sincere and natural behaviors and reactions and emotions and personalities with the rest of the animal kingdom? I don't see any compelling reason not to. Lighten up, we're not that special.
From What we know, we do know it all. The Fact that animals have memory is pretty normal.
Hafelord Pretty sure its "for all we know, we know nothing" not the other way around
Reference to the scientific void where once we reach a state of scientific blossoming we realize that in fact we barely even scratched the possibilities of what is possible.
We ultimately judge animals by how human they are. There is no denying that we are the dominant predator. We have the most advanced brains and abilities from those brains. Is it that unfair that we hold up ourselves up as the ultimate standard?
clearmenser unless you show me an animal building a car i can show you a compelling reason why humans may think they are a little special..
This is why I appreciate Olivia. She's not fooled by the videos of cats being cute. She knows what they're really like..

@@helmaschine1885 Cats are psychopaths, they kill for sport not for food or protecting. Trust me, if your cat was big enough it would tear you to shreds and not feel any guilt
These comparisons tick me off.
Non-human animals have been around far longer than humans. All those social behaviours we claim as ours arose from them, not us.
So they are not like us, we are like them.

I read this one story where some guy buys fries for some random flock of crows and being a absolute jerk to another other flock and was holding a massive grudge on the anonymous person and the flock he was nice to PROTECTED him. And after a few days there was a massive gathering of crows on his side and the other flock on the roof of his apartment, then an actual war on crows versus crows ensued, the anonymous man was watching as crows fought and fell to the ground dead and after the war, his side won and bought 2 big fries batches for celebrating victory. It's probably not true, but man that's quite a nice story.

i think sometimes we take the "don't anthropomorphize" thing too far.
i used to have a dog called Sophie for example. one day i found her on the dining table with her head in the previous nights pizza box, when i made a sound sh turned to look at me, froze for 3 seconds bolted for her bed in the laundry and stayed there till i closed the door. (she had a dog door to outside and put outside was standard punishment) it was clear to me that she knew she had done wrong and wanted to minimize the consequences by taking a punishment quickly. smart dog, she was allowed on couches and chairs and had never been told not to stand on the dining table.
if a human took those actions you would assume they ether felt guilty or afraid of punishment, both of which are emotions are are told we should not anthropomorphize onto animals because they don't necessarily feel things the same way as we do. but i don't know that you feel guilt and fear the same way that i do either.
it is even more obvious with pain and fear of pain. almost all animals will flinch away from a sharp or hot object, and they will expend energy or abandon desirable food to avoid repeated exposure to situations that would cause us pain. while we cant know the internal experience of the animal but we know that the result is avoidance in the short and long term in exactly the same way as we behave when we experience pain and fear.
given that the responses are so similar why would we expect the internal experience to be so fundamentally different, "alert damage incoming, avoid immediately", "alert, potential for damage in vicinity avoid"
all that said we do need to be careful. many emotions don't have quite such obvious reactions.
cats of cause don't feel guilt, they are all sociopaths mooching of your kindness who will use you as a scratching post and still expect to be fed.
Edward Doernberg Yeah, was gonna say this applies a lot more to cats than dogs. Dogs are much more social and have evolved (artificially selected) with humans for thousands of years. They definitely can feel guilt when confronted with something they did wrong.
Cats do not behave this way, despite many cat owners seeming to have convinced themselves that they do. They're just not as similar to humans as dogs are.
Nuturi - That's not particularly true. When my cat does something wrong and I grab her by the scruff of her neck and take her to the crime scene, she begins to gently flail about because she knows it was her doing and punishment is upon the horizon. Dogs are dumb animals and show their guilt immediately while cats won't show their guilt until the evidence is directly upon them. Cats are not as strong as dogs and hence have developed to be more cunning and sly. Just like humans. Cats are, after all, one of the most ancient of all domesticated species of non-human animals (Egyptian era and beyond).
this is where we start to loose detail on what emotion is being felt.
in humans guilt is an emotion you feel when you have done something you no you should not have done, regardless of whether there is any chance of punishment. guilt (usually) is about empathy for others.
fear of punishment is an emotion you feel when you know somebody might punish you, regardless of whether you actually did the thing for which you could be punished. fear of punishment is (usually) about personal loss or discomfort.
it is possible to feel both of these at the same time.
in the case of my dog Sophie i believe she felt guilt and a small amount for fear of punishment.
in the case of VileDestruction's cat i suspect it was feeling fear of punishment because it knew it had done something you punish it for.
why do i believe these things. because dogs are pack animals who have empathy for there pack mates, and cats are solo hunters that tolerate others only occasionally.
no, it is because i am a dog person, i once caught a cat fishing in my goldfish pond. and Sophie would give me more genital attention when i was feeling bad.
we cant tell which emotion they feel in these circumstances, but i am confident that it is one of those 2.
Edward Doernberg - I don't quite know how to take this
"and Sophie would give me more *genital attention* when i was feeling bad"
Edward Doernberg, I agree we do "fear anthropomorphization" to much. And thats because we take many features as "only" human.
Many emotional attributes, for example, have been widely shown in basically all mammals. But common sense keeps thinking they are "human attributes". Same goes for several levels of logical thinking.
We are not angels unconnected to other animals. We are made from the same stuff, we only do a handfull of stuff in a real unique way (like, math or nosediving...).
We gotta naturallize ourselves more, then we'll not fear "anthropomorphise too much" anymore
9:42 Penguin bro got friend-zoned hard. I feel for him.
Augh!, I was going to call out an error on the African dogs. I thought that was a picture of Striped Hyenas. I went on a rant, about how hyenas are *not* dogs. To get my facts straight I looked it up and saw the picture was correct. Those are African Wild Dogs. I'll add this tidbit for people who don't know, but Hyenas are not dogs, but are in the cat-like suborder with their own family. (Suborder: Feliformia Family: Hyaenidae) Cats are also in the Feliformia suborder. (Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae) Dogs are in the dog-like suborder (Suborder: Caniformia, Family: Canidae)

Joshua Walker I think I can assume the majority who watch this schishow can distinguish a hyaena from an African wild dog and the majority also know that hyena are closer related to cats. Maybe you should rant at some other video where people are clueless and don’t care for science. Anyways I don’t think rant about something is appropriate. If you would had said educate people it wouldn’t been different don’t expect others to know about something no one is born knowing and sure you also learn from some animal show but it was born knowledge

I remember reading about a study involving cappuchin monkeys. The researchers were studying gambling, and at first they just gave the monkeys treats directly. Then they started giving them coins which the monkeys could exchange for treats, simulating money. One day a monkey grabbed a tray of coins and threw it out into the communal cage. A male picked up a coin, gave it to a female, and then the two had sex. The female then took the coin to a researcher expecting to exchange it for a treat. The researchers had just witnessed the first recorded instance of animals using money to pay for sex.

I’m glad to read the number of comments pointing out that we may “fear anthropomorphization too much”. Some animals display metaconsciousness, some display altruistic behaviors, so with such significant commonalities I think the danger of over emphasizing “human exceptionalism” should also be a consideration. Only a decade ago college anthro courses still taught students that tool use was exclusive to humans and it’s clearly not, as can be seen in any number of easily searchable youtube videos.
#1 I like to park in a spot overlooking the ocean. One day I tossed some unshelled roasted peanuts to a crow. It took one and flew about 30 feet away and buried it in sand. Moments later another crow flew to that spot and stole the peanut.
SciShow - I've owned many dogs in my life, but my current dog is the first that displays the odd 'sneezing' assent behavior that you describe in connection to African wild dogs. If I display behavior that he associates with a pleasurable activity, he will start 'sneezing.' All I knew was that he did this for the pleasurable activities! Are there other domesticated breeds that regularly do this? My boy is a mutt, but I figure this could lead me to a more concrete clue to his genetic makeup.
Dead Parroting That's funny. Every dog I've ever had did the sneezing thing. They always do it when just starting playing or when someone they love enters the house. I could even get some of them to start sneezing by saying "Ahhhh PUFF!!!" to them. You should try it! All my dogs loved it! 😊
I had always heard that sneezing in domestic dogs is a way they evolved to let the other dogs around them know that they are happy, so when they start playing everyone knows that no one is really fighting and its all in good fun. This seems to really fit with all my dogs' behavior.
OK, I gotta jerk off.
that penguin was a real gold digger
EDIT: *rock* digger
I think "cautious" would be a better word to use rather than pessimistic. After a traumatic incident, it's more likely for an organism to be on it's toes instead of having a negative outlook on life. =)
The fact that we see these behaviors as "holding grudges", "gossiping" or "being pessimistic" is just anthropological imperialism at play.
We're imposing our narrow human viewpoint on those animals.
