The Mystery of Flight - assignment 4/20

As I read through Jack Turner’s, The Song of the White Pelican, I was surprised to be fascinated by pelicans. Turner obviously had researched and studied these animals for quite some time. The little facts about pelicans kept the story moving and gave it its flow. Relating the pelican to other animals like the sea gull made it easier to comprehend the story. I found it interesting to read about biologists’ view on whether animals could possess human-like emotions or not. I believe that, although we are more advanced than animals, sometimes we are more similar than you might think. Just because we classify some feelings as “human-like” emotions, does not mean that animals do not have any emotions similar to ours.
