Beavers and Bees

After reading this article I realized how animals were born with the instinct of surviving. We are the more dominant species but if we were put into the wilderness right now we would die off fast.

Beavers have a great sense of building that no other animal ever has and after reading this article I realized how smart and efficient they are. I am kind of jealous in a sense because I feel that humans do not have an instinct to build something this great that is so unique to our species. Yes, we have buildings and furniture but those are designed and built by people with a talent not an instinct.

Humans rely on machines to do everything now and not our intuition and instinct. In a sense we would be digressing but we would be able to start over and create everything for ourselves again. We would be going by what our brain says and not what the computer or Internet says.

Bees to have a great sense of instinctual building. I feel that humans take for granted how smart they are. Bees have a great sense of memory and can remember flowers they have traveled to and where to put everything they collect.

Humans do have a bigger brain but we could not build anything as great a beaver dam or a bee hive.
