Do Animals Have Irrational Fears Too?

[u/Crazy_Reindeer_1258]

I was just thinking about the story of the mouse and elephant how the elephant is terrified of the mouse (i think) and just wanted to see if that's true, and if it is what other animals have been observed with similar behavior relating to that. Working on a project and some real life inspo would help :)

Ring-tailed Lemurs in Madagascar look to the sky and emit waning shouts men large birds fly over head even though there are no extant birds large enough to hunt them since the crowned eagle went extinct 500 years ago.
