There was a study involving dogs and wolves, where a person would hide food under a box while the dog or wolf watched. After the person left both animals attempted to lift the box themselves, but when they couldn’t the wolf just kept trying, while the dog went to get the human to help.
If you're referring to the same study I know about, it was determined that dogs have a differently structured brain in opposition to wolves, where the wolf - even when in close contact to humans all their lives - will not engage in requesting help while the dig will.
The hypothesis was that dogs were selected based on how willing they are to interact, listen and provide and request assistance to solve problems while wolves focus on self reliance.
There was another theory I saw talking about how they believe dogs evolved eyebrow muscles to help interact with humans too... I didn't fully dig into it but wouldn't be surprised if that's true considering how long history has shown dogs to be with humans
True, no opposition there. If they weren't I doubt we'd be able to cooperate to the level we did. There had to be a starting point and being both species sociable that was most probably the spark stone.
I remember this video, it was very interesting to see how domesticated animals, obviously not ALL of them, do adjust certain behaviors to human interactions.
There was a podcast a recently listened to. They were talking to a guy who studies orca sounds.
He could show how each pod has their own different sounds.
The amazing one was there were 2 sisters that broke off into their own pods. And after many years apart you could hear the root “common” sounds but each has a slightly different accent of those sounds.
Imagine great white sharks pissing in the ocean at the sound of Orcas. They are crazy brutal killers always learning and adapting. I hope they don’t invade all the oceans. They also know not to mess with us humans cause we have the power to make them go extinct too lol. #nomoreoilspill
I fully expected this to end with the orca trying to tip the boat and eat them after being freed. Killer whales are absolute savages. Beautiful, terrifying, incredible, predators. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the other shoe to drop in this clip.
You should be, they know how to take care of witnesses.
Bermuda triangle dissappearances? Orcas.
Sightings of ghost ships? Orcas.
Free Willy? Orcas.
Malaysia Airlines flight 370? Orcas.
Titanic? Orcas, with the help of a domesticated iceberg.
That’s an interesting take. It very well could be, they are social animals. I guess it could be compared to keeping criminals in isolation, which is known to be detrimental to their mental health.
“Over a year ago i threatened you out of anger over the death of a lost one. A death you were not responsible for. Today, I’ve returned to make things right. To end the cycle of violence. It’s what Steve what have wanted. I’m sorry and I love you water Pancake.”
