We have evidence of cultural knowledge transfer among groups of animals and people will still claim they don't really learn like humans, and instead only exhibit basic pattern recognition. Gotta deprogram human supremacy out of people.

I bet when you're an animal and you get to drink clean filtered water it's like omg this water is so water yusss

As a counterpoint, if you’re our dog, you’ll have zero interest in clean tap water and instead are super interested in the filthiest most stagnant fetid waters they can find. Go figure.
