    But they don’t have language

    Ant… pheromones? Whale song? Whatever crows do to remember peoples faces they haven’t seen.

    Not every animal is as sophisticated as we are, but communication in general is pretty integral to herd survival strategy.

    How does an animal know sex leads to pregnancy?

    We’re not… different. We have schools and parents and movies we aren’t supposed to see yet that tell us it does.

      Exactly, humans are animals. They’re just really good with language.

      I’m not disrespecting animals, I love animals. I’m just pointing out that a bear in the woods isn’t thinking "Since I am a heterosexual bear, I am not going to rub my penis on that other bears ass because I see it’s a boy bear and that would be gay. I am only interested in sex if it means babies will be made!’
