They don't think, they just croak and hop.
AyG seems to think animals think. Perhaps he is confusing thinking with acting instinctively.

The highest apes, able to use sophisticated language. Further, to move beyond simple communication, to thought, reflective thought. Have opinions, as indeed you do. If you wish to blog with a chimp fine, here I am.

If you wish to blog with a chimp fine, here I am. Actually, I believe apes are capable of reflective thought, as is demonstrated by the "mirror test". And it's not just apes, but dolphins, orcas and magpies are too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test
