Can animals think or feel? Can they remember specific events? Can they imagine in detail what they might experience in the future? During the twentieth century, many scientists subscribed to the view that animals were like wind-up toys. However in recent decades, careful observations of animals in the wild and recordings from animal brains have shown us some of the surprising and diverse capacities of animal minds. Dr. Mark Reimers will give us a whirlwind tour of recent discoveries about the minds of animals: from dogs to dolphins and from our distant ape cousins to the alien intelligence of octopods.
