    this is not proof crows or elephants understand that they, themselves, might die

    it is not evidence at all about the cognitive abilities of turkeys

      Thanks for replying in such a time that shows you have not read them. It would take near an hour to glide through the sources sent, you replied in a few minutes, and if done, you would see only two were about crows, one was about elephants, and you provided only a personal opinion in response. No peer review from your side? Shall I post the study of chimpanzees next?

      You aren’t looking for peer reviewed sources if youre so quick to denounce them. You hold no credibility over the sources sent. Those are from leading experts. Youre a lemmy user. Big difference.

        these papers are years-old. I’ve read them.

        they do not consitute proof that any animal understands personal mortality

          You’ve read those word for word, years ago? LMAO yeah 9kay buster. Good luck in your sad sad life.

          Edit:

          also, your response of the studies are “years old” it is interesting then that they still stand.

          That means they’ve survived peer review, replication attempts, and scrutiny. That’s how science works bud, evidence stands until disproven. You didn’t read anything in 60 seconds, and you didn’t read it between publish and now. You just don’t like the results.
