As I was watching Frans De Waal’s video, Moral
Behavior in Animals, in class today, I was a bit surprised to see the
Chimpanzee encouraged his friend to help pull the box. I was taken aback by how
intelligent they were. They showed empathy for each other and helped each other
out. I have always known that animals have feelings and thoughts, but I never thought
they would have specifically empathy or compassion for each other. It made me
realize how similar animals are to human. Granted, they are not as intelligent
as us, but that is the only thing they lack. It also made me wonder if animals think
the same way we do. At the same time, I am also wondering if the animals in the
wild have a life similar to what was portrayed in all those Disney movies, such
as the Lion King and Nemo. The only difference I see about the life between
humans and the animals portrayed in those Disney movies is the physical setting
and life style. The animals act and live the same way humans would have if we
still live in the wild.
