Theme:
Animals migrate, climb, den, nest, fight, court, protect, play, metamorphosis, communicate, develop tools, work together in cooperation, have strong maternal instincts, change colors, change sex, exhibit family bonding, clean, hunt… and these instincts are not fixed, they can evolve and change with time, generations, climate, threats and benefits.
Every living organism exhibits these complex behaviors made up of both inborn unconscious mannerisms as well as learned elements. These behaviors, even in humans, comprise our instincts and much of what makes us identifiable or “predictable” and is wide and varied across the animal kingdom. Instincts make us wonder if they are emotion driven or merely sensory driven. Where do the senses end and emotions begin?
