*agrees whole-heartedly with Moiraine's post*
I think that it is somewhat arrogant for humans to put ourselves so distinct from other animals, of course there are varying degrees of this, but the chimpanzee, as Moiraine said, is one example of another animal capable of such things as we are.

Just think, we can't tell what other animals are thinking exactly without seeing things to show this, we could see the chimpanzees ability to plan etc by the consequences, i.e the example given of going kilometres away to find specific things.
So, maybe many other crestures are capable of this thinking, and we merely haven't seen it demonstrated- who knows, maybe squirrels look down on us- thinking how they are above us. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
