Most animals can indeed reflect. Most animals once they accidentally get hurt or see another animal get hurt, like us, they avoid those things so that it wont happen to them. They do have a culture. Animals throughout time perform actions and behaviors that is passed down to them such as learning how to build a nest. They do have emotions. Elephants will hold funerals for those that they see dead, and this also can prove the point that they are conscious of their actions and that what they do isn’t just automatic

Animals do have culture and emotions. One example of this is when we learned about elephant funerals. Elephants mourn their loss of loved ones. The elephants grieve, the funerals could be weeks at a time which is evidence that animals do have emotions.

One example is with horned lizards. they can shoot blood from their eyes, and this is a clear sign of consciousness since they have to know and realize if they are facing any danger, to be able to use this defense mechanism. animals can express emotions for others, an example being how elephants hold funerals for one another. Not all animals are the same, but each have their own culture and ways of communication. these cultures are passed through generations

Animals such as squirrels help each other for their desires in the future. Wether that is nesting food to eat later or building something together. Another example is chimps when they feel threaten or scared they would go ape and have their arms up and make loud noises.

Animals have their own culture, emotions, and consciousness. Chimpanzees is a great example when it comes to animals having their own form of communication. Chimpanzees have communication of their own. If there is a threat, they will raise their arms, slapping he ground or staring directly at another chimpanzee. This is apart of  their culture and is known among this species since it has been culturally inherited.

It is evident that animals have both culture and emotion. This is illustrated behaviorally on numerous occasions. One animal that provides an example is chimpanzees. The chimpanzees will raise their arms, slap the ground and stare at one another to signal a threat. They are demonstrating their apparent ability to communicate with both culture and emotion.

Animals have emotions, culture and can reflect. Chimpanzees are great examples. To show their anger and give off as threat they will use visually communicate it to others by slapping the ground or raising their arms. Dogs wiggle their tell to show their emotion like if they are happy, excited, or interested .

Yes. Animals such as dolphins, chimps, and magpies have shown their ability to recognize their own reflections and consciousness.

Animals can reflect, have a culture, emotions, and consciousness. One example of this is seen through the activity of chimpanzees. Chimpanzees have visual and sonic ways to express emotion and communicate with one another. For example, chimpanzees will slap the ground, make loud noises, and wave their arms in the air when there is a threat or danger near by. They also embrace one another in their arms when showing affection. This is an example of culture because this is how a chimpanzee communicates with another chimpanzee. Also, this shows that a chimpanzee can reflect upon its decisions, ultimately proving its consciousness.

One example of this is that dogs are able to reflect on a situation and show their emotions by wagging their tail or barking. Dogs are able to have culture because different breeds of dogs act differently and have different traits. Some dogs are known for having a stronger sense of smell or being easier to train. Dogs can sense emotions, especially when their owner is acting differently. Some dogs are used to provide support for people with emotional issues. Some dogs are even used in hospitals to help someone heal quicker. Dogs understand consciousness because they provide signals such as barking, wagging its tail, squealing, and etc.

Animals have their own system of communication and culture to pass information and traits on to one another. They communicate and work together for common goals, and are able to feel emotions. For example, elephants have funeral to express grief and relieve stress when they come across a dead elephant which highlights emotion. Chimpanzees communicate using hand signals and eye contact to show danger. Pheromones also affect numerous organisms like rabbits and the smell of pheromones also communicate about danger or food. These forms of communication highlight culture, emotion, and consciousness within animals and thus show that animals can reflect.

Animals do have a culture and emotions.  My reasoning for thinking this is the animal Meerkats, they usually live in groups 30-40 and work together to build tunnels, defend themselves from predators and work together to find food. They communicate using purrs and very loyal to their group.

I think this because of the different behaviors that animals can display. Male squirrels will sprinkle their mate in urine to mark them and tell other males to stay away. They do not want other males to take their mate, and are aware that they can be taken away. This would show that they are conscious of their actions and others.

One example of this is that in order for chimpanzees to show a threat, they will raise their arms, slap the ground, or stare directly at each other. Another example would be that when elephants hold funerals, it is part of their culture to hold funerals. They show their grieve of a herd member by tying to preserve a dead elephant. The cultures are passed down from one generation to the next. These are both learned and innate behaviors. An innate behavior example would be the coyotes using urine to mark their territorial boundaries. The chimpanzee and coyote example are two ways that both of these species are able to communicate to their own species. They can show danger, grieve, and the coyotes claim their territory from other coyotes.

One of the biggest piece of evidence I learned to support this is chimpanzee behavior. Chimpanzees use visual communication to send messages to each other. They raise their arms, slap the ground, and stare at other chimpanzees when trying to warn of a threat. They are clearly displaying their ability to communicate with each other. The idea of a threat and the warning they give speaks to their ability to feel and act on emotion. It also shows that they are conscious of what is going on around them. It also shows that animals have culture because they pass on these types of communication to other chimpanzees. Furthermore, the idea that crows make nests supports the idea of animal culture. Crows  making nests is a learned behavior that was passed through bird society. Therefore, crows are an example of behaviors and ideas passed through generations, or, a cultural action. Thus, animals do have the ability to reflect, have culture, emotions, and consciousness.

One example of this is in monkeys. When they groom each other they form emotional bonds and relationships with each other. This grooming is a part of their culture and contributes to their physical and emotional health.

I believe that animals can reflect, have culture, emotions, and consciousness. They are able to pass information to each other and pass down habits from one generation to the next. Animals are able to bond with each other and express emotions such as playfulness and anger. For example, elephants are able to communicate with each other over long distances, and they hold funerals for each other when one of them dies. They express sadness and mourn for the death of each elephant, sometimes staying by the corpse for weeks to mourn, indicating that they are more than robots following instinct.

In the body of the Padlet, explain why you feel the way stated in the title. Use evidence from your animal research project and things learned within this unit to support your claim.

When scientifically examined, birds have been shown to communicate behavior within their own social networks and can affect population level change in behavior. Over time there is cultural inheritance.
