I don't know anything about ethology, but how would you even test this in a non-human animal?
We went for a hike on the same area we have hiked 3 or 4 times but this time at a different entrance and my dog kept insisting we went up into the bush where we used to cut across to my parents house despite having not been there for 4 months and not arriving from there like we normally did. I find that uncanny.
Couldn't apes do this?
>or ask a question
Non-human animals have asked questions. It's not actually that unusual in terms of animals we can communicate with. What's unusual is existential questions.

>Alex's last words to Pepperberg were: "You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you." These were the same words that he would say every night when Pepperberg left the lab

Sleep tight alex, you shall not ve forgotten
Birds seem to have an okay theory of mind, I mean wild birds... so...I think if there is a lack of evidence in this direction, it's because of a lack of tests.
THE ANSWER IS THAT SHE LOOKS IN THE BASKET.

Does Sally have reason to suspect that Anne is a thieving cunt?
