• Sea otters, known for holding hands while they sleep, also rape baby seals to death and hold otter pups hostage for food.
• River otters in South America are even scarier, hunting in packs.
• Bottlenose dolphins, while intelligent and friendly, kill for fun and engage in sexual coercion and infanticide.
• Adélie penguins engage in sexual and physical abuse of chicks, necrophilia, and homosexual behavior.
• Margays, also known as tree ocelots, hunt by mimicking the sound of a baby monkey in distress to lure adult prey.
• Chimpanzees, our closest cousins, engage in infanticide and even cannibalism of their own species.
• These behaviors are not limited to these species and are common in the animal kingdom.
• Romanticizing nature can lead to a misunderstanding of the true nature of animals.
• Humans are not the only species capable of causing harm to their environment and other creatures.
• These behaviors are not excusable, but they are a part of the natural world and should be understood in context.
• Animals are not inherently good or evil, they simply act on their instincts and survival needs.
• Understanding these behaviors can help us better understand and protect the natural world.
