    --
    A male firefly emits a series of enticing flashes. He hopes a female will respond and mate with him. A female from a different species mimics his patterns: by tricking the male, she lures him in -- and turns him into a meal. Where else do we see this kind of trickery in the animal kingdom? Eldridge Adams details the surprising complexity of how animals manipulate predators, prey and their rivals.
    Lesson by Eldridge Adams, directed by The Duke and the Duck.

    When my three dogs are eating, occasionally the smallest one (Pablo) sends an alarming signal to tell the other dogs that something is outside, when they're really isn't. They all dash towards the door to get ready to chase it. But, Pablo only steps out a few feet then he runs back in to eat the other dog's food while they're distracted. It works about two-thirds of the time, and when I first saw this, I was convinced that Pablo was a cunning genius. I still love the little rascal.

    Definitely. Everytime my pet beagle finishes his food, he looks towards me with longing eyes and a wistful look. The eyes man. It's all about the eyes. Those innocent dove eyes make me feel like I've mistreated him in some way, even though he's as fit as a fiddle. Must just be me.

    Killdeer birds often pretend to be injured to lead predators away from their nests.
    But if you want intent, more intelligent animals can show it. A dog or cat are aware they are not allowed to take food from the table, but they may steal it when you're not looking. I think that shows both deceptive behavior and conscious intent.

    Given how orangutans are known to outsmart their keepers and escape their enclosures, I'd say it's a definitive yes. They pretend that they're fine, bu are actually analyzing their keeper's behavior and their surroundings for opportunities and escape points. One orangutan even fashioned multiple lock picks out of wires and twigs and them in his mouth; whenever he escaped, was caught, and had his tools confiscated, he always had a back-up that they didn't know about and would escape again. When he finally ran out, he found other ways to escape, even coercing his fellow orangutans into masterminding his escape.

    Our cat once caught a mouse. She wanted me to open the door, but I closed as soon as she tried to bring in the guest. Then she wanted me to open again, but this time, she had the mouse on the ground behind her feet. She walked halfway through the door, turned around, took the mouse, and walked backwards in.
    She knew exactly what she was doing. Maybe it wasn't deception, but it sure worked and tricked me.

    This is a really fascinating subject. It seems to be the closest thing to a hack on reality, a back door. And ultimately, it is so because it counters the perceptions of other forms of life. Which means perception/how things see other things, has a great influence on evolution.
