299 Words2 Pages

Animals and humans share more in common than you think. Although we don't necessarily look the same, we share the same emotions. Including happiness, sadness and many other traits. Other than emotions animals can act similar to humans as well. For example, animals may show that their scared by hiding or running away just like humans. In the historical fiction text “Hachiko The True story of a Loyal Dog” it talked about a dog named Hachiko who was very loyal to his owner, even after his death. As said by the text “Or perhaps he knows Dr. Ueno is dead, but he waits at the station to honor his master’s memory.” This proved that Hachiko was very loyal and caring. People in Hachiko’s community honored his loyalty by building a statue soon after his death. …show more content…

In her memoir she mentioned seeing chimpanzees travel in groups and realized they were like a community. Not only that, but the chimps would use hand gestures to communicate with each other. Goodall found this especially fascinating, since animals have never been seen doing this. As you can see, Hachiko and the chimpanzees both had many human characteristics. The chimps for example, bonded and trusted her. This is something humans do with others. Humans express and communicate their emotions just like chimps. Hachiko showed loyalty and respect towards his owner(Dr. Ueno). He protected and cared for him similarly to how humans are with their family and friends. In the end, animals and humans have a lot in common. Even though humans live differant lifesyles than animals they have a lot of similarities. In my opinion, it was fascinating seeing how aniams can be so similer to

  • Unusual Animal Friendships: A Comparative Analysis

    Even though that these two passages state information about two whole different things it still show resemblance in some of the central points. When reading the passages we can see that even though some animals are completely different species they can work together in coordination to benefit both species if it’s for emotions or for physical performance. When reading Unusual Animal Friendships we can see that even though the orangutan was scarred for life by the death of her parents she was able to recover due to the dog being her best friend. Even though they seemed like unlikely pairs they still become best friends helping one another. The same thing occurs in the passage Animal Roles and Relationships when the sea anemone and the hermit crab work together for physical advantages such as the sea anemone being able to eat some of the hermit crabs left overs and the hermit crab receives his own personal body guard against predators.

  • Primate Observation Report

    For example, ancient humans, especially those whom lived in heavily vegetated areas, may have acted much like the tamarins by staying alert in order to prevent predators from sneaking up on them. However, why might humans have shown similar behaviors as the tamarins which the howler monkey did not. Perhaps because both primate species are mostly arboreal and the main predators would be those that fly, which aren’t a real threat for howler monkeys, while humans on the other hand lived on the ground where there are many large predatory mammals. We could also expect to find similar traits that were observed in the solitary howler monkey, such as boredom/depression and repetitive behavior like pacing, in prisoners, particularly ones in solitary confinement. This is likely because humans, like most primates, are social and when we are confined or cut off from other people can affect our mental health.
