we know NOTHING about the internal experiential - the thinking - of natural animals.... the fact that SOME animals deliver babies that are in some ways more prepared to engage with their world ignores the fact that all baby animals learn, and that learning is functional with regard to dealing with a variable habitat. Some smaller creatures live faster lives, yet to them their lives run at more or less the same pace as ours. We cannot mri scan the living neurology of many creatrues in the wild.
