You are setting up some very human rules of rational, morals and behavoir and using that as the example an animal has to follow.

The decision of a male lion to slaughter the cubs of a newly conquered pride is just as much rational from a lions perspective. As are the emotions it evokes in them.

Nope, those rules as you called, are not for animals because apparently they have no consciousness or at least like human's. However, some animal behaviors reflect a bit of those rules without any apparent consciousness.

Consequently, there is so much more we don't know about animal behavior compared to what we think we know, and I believe that their behaviors is mostly instinct but not its entirety. 

Therefore, it is my opinion that animal behavior is not only instinct based on desires and carnal needs. Reply
