Animal photos and videos.

I've been noticing that, ever since phones started having cameras, the amount of photos and videos about animals has increased big time: funny ones, or showing how smart they are, or whatever.

Which makes me think about how much "we" haven't known about animals up to now. Used to be that, except for pets, we didn't see or hear that much about them except on wildlife shows.

A couple of years ago I read "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" by Frans de Waal. It was awesome.

I only just figured out how smart octopuses are.

I'll check out that book. Thanks.
