Yes, probably the same lessons we can learn from watching soap operas and
reading Harlequin romances ... they present human behavior as it actually
occurs and not how we _want_ it to occur. We can also gain insight into human
nature/behavior/motivation by noting what we as humans like to watch and read
about. We like stories about violence, deceit and jealousy, power struggles,
AND animal stories that we can anthropomorphize with. I mean, stories about
bird migrations may be more intellectually stimulating (how do they DO that?)
but alpha bears are, like, WAY cool :-)

Subject: [tips] Bad animal dads
There has been an influx of young Florida black bears in some Central Florida
neighborhoods.It is believed that they are probably being chased away from the
forest by alpha males who do not want them around anymore.Is this a lesson we
can learn from our animal ancestors?
