Do animals have love? DeepSeek answers

Humans have love, but is there love between animals as well?

We asked DeepSeek about this question: Is there love between animals? This is the result of its "deep thinking" -

Whether there is "love" between animals similar to that of humans is a complex and interesting question. Although animals cannot express emotions like humans, many animals exhibit behaviors similar to love, indicating strong emotional connections and social bonds.

That's right, although we can't simply use "love" to define the emotions between animals, in the animal world, animals have their own ways of expressing love and intimacy. They play closely, work together, and express their emotions in various unique ways.

Sweet, visible to the naked eye~

Primates express intimacy through grooming, hugging and sharing food with each other. This is an important part of their daily lives and a reflection of the deep emotions between them.

Dagang and Aju, a pair of white-browed gibbons, live in Gaoligong. They now live with their son Dazhuang. Every morning, Dagang and Aju greet the new day with their beautiful duets, and playing with Dazhuang and swinging his arms are the joys of their family life.

Although there are sometimes "chicken flying and dog jumping" moments, after playing, they will soon snuggle together and groom each other. The life of the family of three is sweet and happy~

When the sun shines brightly at noon, the red howler monkeys will stretch out their bodies on the platform, enjoy the warm sunbath, comb each other's hair, and enhance their affection for each other.

As we all know, living in groups is the main feature of golden snub-nosed monkeys. They live in family groups as their activity unit. The Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey group living in our Hongshan is also a big family of 12 Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys. They take care of each other, forage, play, and rest together. In their spare time, they comb each other's hair to enhance friendship and deepen their feelings. Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey family members also like to hug each other, using physical contact to convey a kind of emotional communication.

The way the white-faced monk Dudu and Huahua express their love is very intuitive. Dudu often kisses Huahua, showing his love.

Chi Zhang 𤟠 The way Xiao Hai and Xiao Tang express their love is a little different~

Love is the tolerance of being rejected after making a request to share food. Love is the tacit understanding that after I trim your hair, I will turn around and let you trim mine.

A beautiful day starts with basking in the sun with friends. As sun worshippers, ring-tailed lemurs love basking in the sun. Every day when the sun rises to a certain height, they will bask in the sun with their friends. Sometimes they hug each other, and sometimes they spread their limbs and face the sun, letting the warm sun shine on their chests, abdomens and limbs.

In addition to the ring-tailed lemurs who like to bask in the sun, there are also black and white colobus monkeys who like to "sunbathe" with their friends. When the sun is just right, the black and white colobus monkeys Xixi and Xiaowei will stick to each other and bask in the sun. This simple companionship has become the best way to express love~

Unity and cooperation are also expressions of love

Primates express their love in a sweet and passionate way. For many other species, solidarity and cooperation are also the emotional link for them to accompany and support each other. We all know that the reproduction method of hornbills is a little different from that of other birds. They have a unique reproduction method - closed door raising young.

Red-Eye and Flower-Tail are a pair of double-horned hornbills in the Tropical Bird House. During the breeding season, they will work together to seal the hole of the nest box, leaving only a thin gap through which they can stick out their beaks. The female hornbill Flower-Tail will stay in the nest box to build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the chicks, while the male hornbill Red-Eye will look for food outside and pass the food to the female through the thin gap in the hole until the chicks grow up and fly out of the nest box.

They share the responsibility of raising their young, working together and trusting each other. This reproduction method is their survival strategy and a unique way for them to express their love. Banna and Chacha from the local area formed a big otter family with their children. Otters also show the close cooperation spirit between otter parents in raising their children.

As new parents, Chacha and Banna have a good understanding of each other. The female otter Banna is responsible for raising the children, while the male otter Chacha is responsible for patrolling the territory, providing food and guarding the family. The construction of the otter's nest will be completed by the male and female otters together. They will hold branches, leaves and other natural materials in their mouths to build their own comfortable and safe home.

As a highly social animal, the slender-tailed mongoose is a model of teamwork, and each member has his or her own role and responsibilities. During the breeding period of Queen Mengmeng of Family 2, the slender-tailed mongooses in Family 2 had a clear division of labor and performed their duties. Some served as "sentinels" to be alert to dangers around them; others were "nannies" responsible for taking care of the cubs, jointly maintaining the harmony and safety of this large family.

Wolves are also social animals with strong team spirit. Both the wolf packs led by Stanley and Wolf have shown strong team spirit. Stanley, the young wolf king, not only leads the wolf pack, but also puts down his status when the wolf cubs are playing, plays with them, joins in the game of "biting the tail", and enhances the relationship between them. This kind of companionship and unity and cooperation is not only the basis for the survival of the wolf pack, but also an important way for them to express their love.

Cooperation and care are the way for animals to survive, and they are also the most beautiful connection between lives~

Even though they play and quarrel, they are still a friendly family

As herbivores, they express friendship in different ways! The little muntjac Yaya in Gaoligong is always close to her friends, and Xiaoqi in Zhangjipo expresses his friendship by licking their fur.

The years are peaceful here, but there is a lot of noise over there~

We always see giraffes fighting in the giraffe house, sometimes it's Xiaoqi and Lu Xiaohu, sometimes it's Feifei and Xiaoqi. We always worry about them!

However, for giraffes, which live in groups, learning from each other's "neck strike" skills is also a way for them to accompany each other and express their love. It is part of their social life.

Although animals express love in different ways, they can indeed form deep emotional connections and social bonds. These vibrant behaviors interpret the harmony of diversity in nature and allow us to feel the charm of nature and the rhythm of life.
