Animals that are similar to humans
Studies reveal that humans evolved from ancestors resembling apes, suggesting we were all initially creatures that gradually evolved into our current forms. Similarly, several animals also underwent evolution, leading to the development of behaviours remarkably akin to human habits.

Crows
Crows, often considered as one of the most intelligent bird species, reportedly have the ability to recognise human faces for a duration of up to 2.7 years. Their memory extends to remembering the treatment they received from individuals, leading to the belief that crows can hold grudges against those who have mistreated them.

Elephants
Elephants, known for their strong social bonds, reportedly display signs of mourning when a member of their group passes away. This behaviour underscores the depth of emotions and care these animals have for their group members.

Clownfish
Clownfishes, inherently matriarchal, carry a unique trait: they are all born male. In an intriguing turn of events, when the leading female or matriarch passes away, the dominant male undergoes a gender switch to assume the matriarch's role, thereby continuing the matriarchal lineage.

Parrots
Even before a baby is born, humans begin contemplating names for the unborn child. This practice of naming isn't just confined to humans, but extends even to parrots. Recent discoveries indicate that parrots also assign their offspring with unique vocal signatures, effectively 'naming' them.

Meerkats
Contrary to popular belief that animals lead a simple life without the need for education, it appears we are mistaken. A recent observation shows that Meerkats engage in a form of 'homeschooling' to teach their offspring survival skills.

Penguins
Penguins have been found to exhibit infidelity, according to penguin biology and behaviour expert Lloyd Spencer Davis. A report in Bored Panda stated that there are instances where female penguins engage in sexual activities with unpaired males in exchange for a stone.

Bees
In a surprising development, it has been discovered that bees can also experience intoxication. This unusual behaviour is observed when bees consume fermented tree saps. Following this, the bees exhibit slower flight and heightened awareness.

Fishes
A peculiar interaction between two fish species has been captured on video, which has now gone viral. The footage shows a jawfish and a goby spitting sand at each other's burrows, akin to a spat between humans. This unusual behaviour has amused viewers worldwide.
