Intriguing surprises await viewers Inside the Animal Mind a three-part NATURE miniseries.
We all believe that our pets are both intelligent and sensitive. After all, they understand our commands, read our moods, and know just how to manipulate us to get what they want. In some ways, they anticipate our behavior as accurately as we do theirs.
But are these truly examples of intelligence, or simply the results of trial and error derived from millennia of contact with humans? Can animals actually apply insight to problem-solving and understand abstract concepts? Do they reflect on the past and worry about the future? Are they capable of recognizing their own mortality?
NATURE explores the intriguing subjects of animal intelligence, emotions, and self-awareness, when it takes viewers Inside the Animal Mind.

this is a cool web site i love it.
this is a cool page i love animals but i love horses the most
very interresting.
I think this is a very interesting articl and that learning will always be fun.
i think that horses are primitive and a little dumb. Everything they know we taught or God taught them but all in all they are dumb animals.
I think dogs are the smartest animals in the world because not all animals know how to do the things they do.
Its kinda small but useful.
i needed something for my homeschooling work litature and i like it so much for my school work.
this website is awesome! you learn so much!

All animals are smart to some extent.
If animals sufffer when their instincts and desires are thwarted what is life like for those on factory farms where they are treated as nothing more than agricultural products? They never see natural light; or sense the seasons change; or feel the earth beneath their feet. Incarcerated, unhealthy and afraid they live in abject misery.
My book On the Menu: Animal Welfare shows the the whole production process of all farmed animals, from before conception; through birth; rearing; slaughter;and right up to how the end product is presented on the supermarket shelves.
But it what it doesn’t do is get into the inner mind in the way that this fantastic website does.
