Shirley Serban has a song about pet cats and dogs and how they see our love cat’s acceptance leads them to believe that they are gods and dogs believe that our love for them makes humans their own god. I have no pets so I have no experience and I am not qualified therefore cannot validate her hypothesis . I as a non scientist have enjoyed watching your video I remember as a child watching Jane Goodall doing observations., and watching Michaela and Armand Denis filming Mr and Mrs Leakey . Thankfully you have been continuing to make great films . Do other species have Narcissistic tendencies in some individuals who can fake (love ?)for a while like a human narcissist but can’t maintain any healthy relationships . I think Elephants experience love ❤️ too. It’s been a great hour .

Elephants are in my opinion the fourth most consciouss specie after Human/Chimp, Dolphin & Octopus. They even have their cementaries!
