    It's amazing how much we tend to underestimate the intelligence of animals.

      @terrafirma5327 11 месяцев назад +25

      Its easier to exploit animals if they are lesser lifeforms that can't possibly deserve a soul of any kind.
      The fact is, even bumblebees are insanely smart and self-aware. They can do math even and play with balls.

      Yes but one thing to keep in mind is that they aren't as isolated geographically as humans were during the early development of civilizations. Their range of communication is vast, and they're able to travel very far in a short amount of time.

    The quotes at the beginning of these videos just keep getting better.
    I used to identify them as quotes from book spines i saw at the 'old books' section at the library.
    Now its movie references from movies i watched as a kid.
    Funny to think that a kid that watched that movie as 10 year old is now 30 years old. Wild.
    Our movies might ine day be remembered the way we remember of books like huckleberry finn
