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.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my friend were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a book from our area library but I think I learned better from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there…
