Um, well we are humans after all.... [In reply to] Can't Post

I think you are looking at the situation entirely from a human perspective. I think a male leopard for example, would have much more problems distinguishing a male and female human from each other, that he would having to distinguish a male and a female leopard.


so yeah, I'd expect we'd see things from a human perspective? Even speculating how other species view us or themselves is seeing them from our human perspective. Okay, got off on a tangent here. Just thinking about what you said. But I see your point, that animals within a species probably would be able to better differentiate each other than those from other species, particularly the gender differences.
