There's a subreddit where people share photos and videos that can reveal animal consciousness, intelligence, and emotion. And let me tell you, the evidence is pretty convincing.

Created in 2013, r/LikeUs has over 1.8 million members, and over the years, the online community has collected loads of interesting and heartwarming content. Whether we're talking about a chimp who has a really good memory or a German Shepherd looking for help after his family's shed had caught on fire, r/LikeUs has it all.

Continue scrolling and check out some of the subreddit's all-time most popular posts.

This is Scarlett. This occurred back in March 30, 1996. Unfortunately, one of the kittens got sick from a virus and died a month later, but the others all survived and were adopted. Scarlett lived on until 2008.

Actually Scarlett's eyes were swollen from the heat while rescuing her kittens, so she made sure per nose-bumps all of them were there and safe, once she got them out. She lived a long life with a loving owner

A cat's love, loyalty & determination is quite often unacknowledged by those not familiar with them. Once I got to understand them, they're under my skin.

As an introduction to the subreddit, one of its moderators u/gugulo, advises people to read "Are We in Anthropodenial?" by Dutch primatologist and ethologist, Frans de Waal.

"r/LikeUs is a place to gather and discuss evidence showing animal consciousness, intelligence, and emotion. [It] is not simply another version of r/aww. Posts that are cute but show little intelligent or emotional behavior do not belong here," another moderator, u/sydbobyd, explained.

    "r/LikeUs is also not the place to post examples of animals (or inanimate objects) simply posing/dressing like a human or being personified. This seems to be a common and understandable confusion of the subreddit name, but our goal is not to show animals who just happen or are manipulated by humans to look human.

    "This will always leave gray areas of course, but we hope that this may alleviate some of the confusion we've seen lately," the moderator said.

    shoes and socks have the most human smell on them. the dog was probably getting the shoes out to smell you, and the longer your wife was gone the more her scent was receding so your dog needed more shoes to smell.

    The moderators sort posts into 5 categories: 1) best content (think intelligent behavior, complex emotions, scientific articles, philosophy discussions), 2) good content (intentional behavior, unusual behavior, skillful behavior), 3) OK content (expressions, reactions, curiosity), 4) bad content (funny, cute, play), and 5) very bad content (misleading, fake, spam), and they clean up the subreddit accordingly. Needless to say, most of these posts belong at the top!

    While all of these reaffirm how we underestimate vastly the emotional and logical intelligence in animals, Grey Parrots blow my mind. You may well know of Alex, the African Grey, who was studied for years as he learnt; primary colours, shapes textures, names. At one point, he looked at himself in a mirror and ASKED ‘what colour Alex?’ The implications are both heart enriching, and heartbreaking at the same time.

    After years of taking care of the subreddit, moderators have learned a lot about animals themselves. "Mammals have a really good memory. Some orangutans learn how to fish, [and dogs can know] they're at the vet," the team writes. "Having such good memories means they remember their suffering. For instance, [some cows were recorded being happy for returning to pasture after a long winter."

    Orangutans are really smart. Our fellow apes are known to do things like this. For example, the chimpanzee Washoe was in a study teaching her sign language. Washoe had a baby who sadly died (I forget if it was stillborn or died soon after). One of Washoe's caregivers miscarried and was absent for a few days, and when she came back, Washoe was mad bc she missed her, but when the caregiver explained that her baby died, they cried together.

There was a chimpanzee that was just fascinated by me and I visited several times, always interacting with him. It got more interesting when my hubby went to touch me- the chimp would freak out & become very upset. Now, looking back, these animals in zoo's just makes me sad.

Sure, there are predators but they are not only male. There are so many things like that that people just ignore whilst bleating on about "equality" etc.

    In my previous riding school there was a horse, who faked lameness. Got caught, when he forgot which leg it was, and started limping with a leg, currently best visible.

    My friends dog has a slight limp. SLIGHT. When I come over, she drags her a**e, like both her legs are broken, right to my feet, then drop onto her back and howl. She loves the attention I give her and now it's become the routine. I'm the only person she does this to.

    My gsd Cyrus would fake cough and lay down seeking comfort. He would also jump on the couch and look sick. I would "comfort" him. If I left the room he would sit up, pant, and smile. He would lay back on the couch if he heard me coming back. I'm easily trained.

    I can't believe this happened to someone else. My first dog developed kennel cough and was treated for it. One month or so after the infection was gone, she started "coughing" again. Paid for another exam and the test only to be told she was scamming me. Never understood why because she had so much attention and love from anyone who knew her. She was a smart, well behaved dog even with that long con.

    Doesn't have to be intelligence, just pure association memory. He may have had a real cough once and learned that he got lot of attention that way. Just like giving your dog a treat when you teach it to give paw. Then it associate giving paw with a treat.

    Questions about animal consciousness — especially, which animals have consciousness and what (if anything) that consciousness might be like — are both scientific and philosophical. They are scientific because answering them requires gathering information using scientific techniques and they are philosophical because progress will ultimately require interdisciplinary work by philosophers willing to engage with the empirical details of animal biology, as well as scientists who are sensitive to the philosophical complexities of the issue.

    Analyzing this topic often raises more questions than it answers, but it would be of little interest if it were otherwise.

    For many philosophers, the topic of animal consciousness is no longer only of peripheral interest; there is increasing interest in animal cognition from a range of philosophical perspectives, including ethics, philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of science.

    Philosophers working in all of these areas are increasingly attentive to the particular details of scientific theory, methods, and results.

    Many scientists and philosophers believe that the groundwork has been laid for addressing at least some of the questions about animal consciousness in a philosophically sophisticated yet empirically tractable way. However, there are critics from both sides: on the one hand are those who still think that subjective phenomena are beyond the pale of scientific research, and on the other are those who think that science and philosophy have not moved far enough or fast enough to recognize animal consciousness. And the arguments on both sides are by no means exhausted.

    During the Covid lockdown we had two litters of kittens (all got excellent homes) because elective surgeries were cancelled. Our mom cat was never a hunter but with each litter she would bring in a dead mouse for the kittens to see. One morning I work hearing my husband say " Don't move! There are four kittens and a dead mouse on the bed." Once the kittens began eating food she quit hunting.

    We once had our female cat come home pregnant. After the kittens were born ,our male cat ,who wasn't the father of our kittens would go out at night and come back with a mouse. He put it in the nest and the next day I found a half eaten mouse in the nest. He did this every night, sometimes it was a mouse,sometimes a bird and one time he brought a frog home.

    Don't worry there aren't many species of fish that actively parent their offspring.

    Holding the kid’s leg—-the monkey equivalent of a child leash. Kid: look at me, Mama! I’m gonna climb up here! Mom: Nope, nope, nope. Come on over here instead, Sweetie. That’s it. Love you baby. Kid: Love you too Mama.

    I love that some aquariums and zoos did this. The animals were actually missing having human spectators and were getting bored. So they let animals (and shelter dogs, etc) walk around and check out the other animals and fish. Win win for everyone.

    Honestly, that's one reason I don't mind zoos. We think we go to see the animals, they think we come for them to watch. You know they probably talk about us.

    In a well run zoo, where every effort is made to give the animals as homelike an environment as possible, then the viewing is mutual, and the experience beneficial to both humans and animals.

    I think it might have been in a BP post a while ago but there was also a sloth that got the opportunity to visit the aquarium. The way the beluga whales reacted to it was precious!

    I remember in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, theNew Orleans zoo was too unsafe to open to the public, so they asked the National Guard to come visit the animals, as they were missing the humans.

    Cows are exceptionally curious, and very easily distracted. Every cow expression means "What's that?" on a spectrum between excited curiosity, and concerned fear.

    Some places do that to keep poachers from killing the Rhino for its horn. If it had no horn then it is worth anything to poachers therefore they don kill them.

    Orangutans are really smart. They probably saw humans walking and a couple and decided to copy them.

    He is watching "His" puppies, not her puppies. If you take the time, you will note that there are no swollen nipples on "her" chest, only a little dingie between the hind legs. Its Daddy love, not Mummy love, shown in the picture.

    to those of you wondering, it's just an incubator. breeders will use it to keep newborn puppies warm. it's often used by farmers for baby chicks.
