There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Obviously not. That's just my understanding of what happens when you have a big coalition on the same kill, they aren't even aware of this kind of a deduction. I don't think they feel unhappy or happy in an emotional sense like a human.
Perfect, the statement as I read it seemed strange, which is why I asked. To be honest, my friend, I do not think we are that far off from what we both believe. As I tried to clarify myself, I was not referring to happiness as in the happiness we feel when we are with family and friends (or the happiness we all feel when we visit WildFact ), just more being content with a given situation or the status quo. Though I do believe that all animals are capable of feeling some semblance of that emotion, just not in the context we are discussing. Cheers Sik
