Life of animals is not so different from ours

Animals seem to be so different from us humans. We draw a line in the sand that separates us humans from so different from us animals, and often this line is swept away by the facts from the animal world. Many of them show characteristics and rituals that seem so similar to us, people, and it is not an anthropomorphism. For example, crows has a burial ritual. When a crow discovers another dead crow, it starts making sounds and invites other crows to collect around the dead crow. It is unknown why they do it, but some specialists say that in this way crows try to collect information why this particular crow died in order to prevent themselves to follow its fate. Some spiders have been spotted to bring a gift for a female in order to mate with her. A gift is often something like a delicious insect, wrapped in a web, but about 40 percent of males can be also deceptive. They can give a female as a present a twig or a skeleton from an insect that they have been previously soaked out, wrapped in a web and as a female finds out that it is hand wringing, it immediately terminates the copulation. So, animals are not so different from us as it may seem at the first sight.
