   Do animals have thoughts? :blobfoxthinking:
   
   I'm not talking about inner monologue, I'm talking about thoughts like when humans operate on autopilot.

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com Anyways my take is: yes. One example is Orangutans in the wild know which plants are edible, over a hundred. Not only do they know this, they know where they grow and when. They basically have a map of the jungle in their heads constantly.

     @tk I would say sharks do, they are very intelligent. They would recognize me and come say hi and not other people. Follow me around like a dog and stuff. I think that is not just a mistake.
