No, they aren't.\n\nHumans have a stronger preference for one hand over the other than other animals. That is thought to be due to language being localized on one side of the brain, so motor control gets unevenly dominant (your right side of the brain controls your left hand). Animals don't have the languge skills, and tend to use both paws about equally.

Most definately. Probabaly the most easy way to prove this is to read on animal behavior in the subject of embarassment or anxiousness. Have you ever seen a cat that has tried to jump on top of something and they goof up? Some might lick their paw in a moment of trying to recover grace or run away out of embarassment. I think these reactions are key indicators of animal self-awareness.

yes, they can think, if u see some dogs when see person run to him to pet it and run to another to bit him, so may be it know that this one is its owner and the other amy b a thief.\nans so some other animals.

Humans like to think we are special and unique and different than our animal brethern, but are we?\n\n1. We share many characteristics, instincts, genetics, phenotypes etc with animals\n\n2. We use tools, but so do many animals, contrary to what was believed previously.\n\n3. We have languages, but the animals appear to as well, and appear to be able to understand some of language (dogs, horses, chimps). Some animals, like chimps, have been taught to use sign language and even type on computers, and some claim appear to use language creatively. \n\n4. Some animals have similar ratios of brain mass to body mass as humans, or even have better ratios. Many cetaceans might be as intelligent as humans, but not have the ability to manipulate the environment in the same way since they do not have hands. \n\nSo the entire premise of this question is a bit suspect, frankly.

Most mammals have pretty much the same nervous system set up as we do.  \n\nThere might be a few differences in the number and size of some of the major sensory nerve bundles.  Humans don't have much in the way of an olfactory nerve, while other critters would have much larger nerves to carry more information.

They are very real. We as humans are only given 5 senses. Who is to say that there are other senses that exist but we just cannot utilize them or it is not within our powers? Dogs & Cats or other animals have heightened sense of sight & smell thus allowing them to detect the presence of the unknown before we do. \n\nRemember this, we are all spirits embodied in a human form. When we die we take our conscious and subconscious with us and go back as spirits again.  When we die suddenly, our spirits will be earthbound. Until we realize we are dead, we become ghost.

Regardless of what our opinions are, we have no way of knowing what any other animal's emotions are regarding sex-We have no idea if they feel pleasure, because we can't define that in other animals.  Other animals certainly feel compelled to have sex, and afterwards generally display behaviours associated with relaxation and satisfaction (such as is seen after eating a large meal).  But to say we know whether an animal is feeling pleasure gives us a lot more credit for understanding the inner workings of other animals than we deserve.

More then likely , a human probably noticed an animal licking itself one day and decided to try it on another human......the rest is history.

Viewing one's own body\nA mirror is used for inspecting parts of one's body which are difficult or impossible to see directly, such as the face, neck or the whole body. This may be to check physical appearance (including clothing, make-up, hair, etc.) or to control applying make-up, shaving, cutting hair, fixing one's tie, etc.

You are so funny!!!  I'll just bet they do.  Animals are smarter than their human counterparts.
