Some examples of what we're looking for:
Mammals have a really good memory
Some orangutans learn how to fish
This dog knows he's at the vet
Having such good memories means they remember their suffering.
For instance, these cows are happy for returning to the pasture after a long winter.
Emotionally mammals are very developed, like us.
They share with us many of our feelings, such as fear and love.
Their emotions can be every bit as troubling as ours.
They can be depressed so much they won't even eat!
Even our distant relatives, the cetaceans are very aware and very playful fellows.
This Humpback Whale, for instance, realizes she's been saved from a fishing net and lets her rescuers know she is thankful.
Non-mammal animals on the other hand appear to be quite different from us, but birds always find ways to puzzle us.
Apparently they like to have fun!
The crow is probably the smartest bird there is!
Birds in general are very aware of what their peers are doing.
Evidence is everywhere... yet no one seems to care...
Everytime you find evidence remember to share with us.

Animals sharing culture
Researchers Cédric Sueur and Michael A. Huffman have introduced the concept of 'co-culture' in their recent paper. This idea looks at how different animal species, including humans, influence each other's behaviors and cultures through their interactions. They provide examples like humans and animals sharing medicinal knowledge, urban wildlife adapting to city life, and cooperation between different species. This challenges the idea that culture is specific to just one species, showing how connected and complex these interactions are.
The authors suggest that more research into these interspecies cultural exchanges is important for conservation, urban planning, and understanding animal behavior and intelligence. The co-culture concept highlights how these mutual cultural influences shape the behaviors and adaptations of different species within their shared environments.
