Mothers, from cows to crocodiles, adore their offspring and try hard to protect them. Fish pass down culture through generations. Pigs are social, playful beings who like to cuddle. Crows hold grudges and remember the faces of humans who are kind or cruel to them. Turkeys could be called “helicopter parents” because of how protective they are. Male mice sing to females, and bower birds decorate their porch to seduce a potential partner. The point is that humans are one type of animal among many, and the others are just like us in the ways that matter most.
