Operate their own café: “How would you like your eggs, sir?”
Keep the fire going while we’re away.
Overcome ridiculous odds.
Do impressions of famous movie characters.
Create new means of transportation (the all new 2018 MotoMantis!)
Imitate other animals. (Do they do this on porpoise?)
Or imitate themselves: “Hey, let’s do a flamingo!” “Again?”
And best of all… they can teach us how to love.

Mitch in my book The Business Zoo I use animals to illustrate lessons about
business and life. Crows, one of the smartest of birds, have been trained to use vending machines and been able to build tools to get to food. I have watched Crows unzip a bike bag to get to a sandwich and then zip it backup. And these are Crows not Wolves!

Looks like we’ll have to re-think the old expression “eat crow.” ;>)

Have been a fan of elephants for soooo long. Took the time to learn about their habits. I would like to be that girl in the photo. The mantis and “Dobbie” are pretty cool too.

Hi Mitch Now I am impressed. They must be far more intelligent than humans. They would not do the atrocities that humans do! Thank you so much for liking my poem ‘Premonition!’ Great to hear from you. Peace and Best Wishes. The Foureyed Poet.

The ability to love–and be loved by–animals has always felt rather like a miracle to me. But whether it is or not, it is definitely one of life’s great joys.
