Recently delved into the topic of animal intelligence, others than humans, and i think there is this bias to for weird structures found in a modern day western human society. So my question which are the most misunderstood creatures besides like the typical (e.g wolfs , cats hyenas. Better yet non mammalian) in your oppinion
I think arthropods are also very misunderstood. People either have a great disgust for them or a great fear of them, and they are so small that people often do not sense intelligence in them. I have always thought, judging by the way people treat them, that bugs are seen as little irrational automatons that act according to a simple and repetitive programming. But no, bugs are very smart! And they even have idle behaviors and do things that do not bring them anything just for the luxury of having fun!
