1
Every animal on Earth looks at us differently.
2
Some think we're family, some think we're terrible hunters, and one animal might actually think we're completely insane.
3
Let's find out.
4
Number six, dogs.
5
Humans have spent around 30,000 years turning wolves into our best friends.
6
But here's something scientists only recently started to understand.
7
Your dog probably doesn't think you're another dog.
8
Instead, it seems to know you're something entirely different.
9
Researchers have shown that dogs recognize human faces.
10
Understand our pointing gestures learn hundreds of words, and even read our emotions.
11
In one experiment, dogs were shown pictures of happy and angry human faces.
12
Surprisingly, they reacted differently to each one, meaning they aren't just looking at your face, they're actually paying attention to your mood,
13
which explains why your dog somehow knows you're sad.
14
Five minutes before you do.
15
But here's my favorite part.
16
When dogs reunite with their owners after being separated, their brains release huge amounts of oxytocin,
17
the exact same hormone that helps parents bond with their children, and when you look back into your dog's eyes, your brain releases it too.
18
It's basically a biological friendship loop.
19
Scientists believe dogs see humans as trusted social partners, providers, protectors, and members of their family.
20
Although, based on how often mine watches me struggle to open a bag of chips, I'm pretty sure he also thinks I'm hopeless.
21
Number five, cats.
22
Cats have lived with humans for nearly 10,000 years.
23
Somehow, they still act like we're the ones living in their house.
24
Unlike dogs, cats were never heavily bred to obey humans.
25
They mostly domesticated themselves.
26
Thousands of years ago, wild cats discovered that villages were full of mice.
27
Humans noticed the cats were helping.
28
Neither side complained.
29
And that's basically how the partnership started.
30
Today, scientists think cats recognize that humans are different from other cats.
31
They don't mistake us for giant felines, but they often treat us using behaviors normally reserved for trusted cats.
32
For example, that slow blink your cat gives you, among cats, that's a peaceful signal.
33
Almost like saying, I trust you.
34
Then there's rubbing against your legs.
35
Many people think that's affection, and it is, but it's also a way of mixing scents.
36
Cats have scent glands on their cheeks, forehead, and tail.
37
So every time they rub against you, they're basically saying, this giant hairless creature belongs with me.
38
Then there's the gifts.
39
The dead mouse on your doorstep.
40
Congratulations!
41
Your cat probably wasn't trying to insult you.
42
Some experts believe mother cats bring prey back to teach their kittens how to hunt.
43
Whether domestic cats view humans the same way is still debated.
44
But one thing is certain.
45
Your cat definitely noticed you haven't caught a single mouse all year.
46
Honestly, somebody had to help.
47
Number four, dolphins.
48
If you lived in the ocean, you'd probably think humans were terrible dolphins.
49
And honestly, you'd be right.
50
Dolphins are some of the smartest animals on Earth.
51
They recognize themselves in mirrors, call each other by unique signature whistles, and even cooperate to solve complex problems.
52
But here's something interesting.
53
Unlike sharks, dolphins rarely treat humans as prey.
54
Instead, they often seem curious.
55
Around the world, wild dolphins have been observed swimming alongside divers, inspecting boats, even bringing unusual objects like seaweed or shells toward people.
56
Scientists believe dolphins investigate anything new in their environment.
57
Humans just happen to be one of the strangest things they've ever seen.
58
There are also dozens of well-documented reports of dolphins helping people.
59
Some have guided lost swimmers toward shore.
60
Others have formed protective circles around humans when sharks were nearby.
61
Scientists still debate why.
62
Were they protecting us, protecting themselves, or were they simply responding to another animal in distress?
63
The honest answer is, nobody knows.
64
But dolphins are incredibly social.
65
Helping injured members of their own pod is common, so extending that behavior toward humans isn't impossible.
66
One thing is certain, if dolphins really are judging us, they're probably wondering why we need boats just to stay above water.
67
Number three, octopus.
68
Imagine meeting an alien, only to discover it already lives on Earth.
69
Meet the octopus.
70
Unlike almost every intelligent animal we've talked about, octopuses didn't evolve in families.
71
They don't hunt in packs, they don't raise large social groups.
72
Most spend their lives completely alone.
73
Yet, somehow, they became one of the smartest animals in the ocean.
74
Scientists have watched octopuses unscrew jars, escape locked aquariums, solve puzzles, and even memorize routines inside laboratories.
75
One famous octopus learned exactly when the night shift started.
76
Every evening, it would quietly climb out of its tank, sneak across the floor, help itself to fish from another aquarium, then crawl back home before anyone noticed.
77
Honestly, if it had eight hands, wait.
78
Never mind.
79
But what do octopuses actually think humans are.
80
Researchers believe they're incredibly curious about us.
81
Divers often report octopuses slowly reaching out with one arm, touching cameras, masks, or even people's hands.
82
Not to attack, just to investigate.
83
Their arms are packed with thousands of chemical and touch receptors, so every little tap is basically the octopus asking, what exactly are you?
84
Some even seem to recognize individual divers who visit regularly, while others have been known to completely ignore certain people, and spray water at others.
85
Scientists have actually documented octopuses squirting water at humans they apparently didn't like.
86
Imagine being judged by an animal with nine brains.
87
Technically, one central brain and eight arms that can solve problems almost by themselves.
88
That's less like meeting a fish and more like meeting an underwater genius.
89
Number two, chimpanzees.
90
Out of every animal on earth, there's one that's looked at humans and probably thought, you're almost one of us.
91
Chimpanzees share around 98 to 99% of their DNA with humans.
92
That makes them our closest living relatives, alongside bonobos.
93
And sometimes, the similarities are almost unsettling.
94
Chimpanzees laugh when they play, comfort each other after fights, use tools, work together, and even wage territory battles against rival groups.
95
Sound familiar?
96
Wild chimpanzees have noticed something fascinating.
97
Chimpanzees clearly understand that humans are animals very strange ones.
98
In forests where people hunt chimpanzees, the apes become incredibly cautious.
99
They stay silent, hide high in the trees, and avoid people whenever possible.
100
But in protected sanctuaries, where humans consistently bring food, provide medical care, or help injured chimps, their behavior changes completely.
101
Some individuals confidently approach familiar caretakers.
102
Others reach out for reassurance during stressful situations.
103
Young chimpanzees are especially curious.
104
Watching humans, copying movements, even trying to imitate certain behaviors, researchers believe chimpanzees recognize individual humans,
105
remember past interactions, and adjust their behavior based on trust.
106
They don't see every person the same way.
107
They remember, which is impressive, Because I still forget where I left my phone.
108
At least twice a day.
109
Chimpanzees probably don't think we're giant apes.
110
They seem to understand we're a completely different species.
111
One that's incredibly clever, sometimes dangerous.
112
Number one, orcas.
113
Imagine being the most powerful predator on Earth, and still choosing not to attack humans.
114
Meet the orca.
115
Orcas have hunted almost everything the ocean has to offer.
116
Seals, sharks, penguins, whales, even great white sharks.
117
Scientists have watched entire pods flip sharks upside down, specifically to eat one organ, the liver.
118
Talk about ordering only the appetizer.
119
Despite being perfectly capable of hunting humans, there has never been a confirmed case of a wild orca intentionally killing a human.
120
That's astonishing, especially considering how often people share the ocean with them.
121
So, what do they think we are?
122
Researchers believe orcas are extremely curious.
123
Wild pods have been filmed approaching kayaks, surfboards, sailboats and even divers.
124
Sometimes they quietly swim alongside people, rolling onto their sides, looking directly at them with one eye, almost as if they're trying to figure us out.
125
Some scientists think this behavior is simply investigation.
126
Others believe they're gathering information about unfamiliar animals.
127
The truth is, we don't know exactly what's going through an orca's mind.
128
But we do know something remarkable.
129
Orcas recognize individuals within their own pods, teach hunting techniques across generations, and have distinct cultures that vary from one population to another.
130
That means different groups of orcas can behave differently, almost like different human communities.
131
Thanks for watching The Curious Kid.
132
I'll see you in the next video.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
