Question

Do animals think that cars are also animals?

Answer

In a sense they do. Are we talking wild or domesticated? Wild animals have no concept of machines or constructed objects. Because of this animals are bound to think of anthing moving, such as a car, as some sort of animal in the sense that it is a moving creature. But most animals have a very accute sense of smell so they would be able to identify that this animal is a very strange one indeed. On the other hand when a car is stopped they would probably think of the car as some sort of strange rock.brbrIts hard to imagine yourself in their shoes, living in a world without any knowledge of civilization and then to suddenly see a car. You wouldnt know what to make of it, but it must be some sort of living thing because it is moving. But what a strange smelling creature it is...brbrBut domesticated animals are a completely different thing. I would be pretty sure they know that its not an animal. I mean they ride in it! They can recognize it as a type of transport object.
