Reply to comment by Pokemonobsessedlesbo in ELI5 - why are bonded pairs okay in animals but not humans? by Pokemonobsessedlesbo

Eat your own poop or your own youngs, and we'll agree to disagree.

Just because humans are mammals it does not mean that all behaviours exhibited by animals are not odd when we adopt them.

I said some behaviors not all, that’s just silly. Any use of critical thinking would presume that eating poop isn’t a common instinct, even in most animals, pica is not normal.

Common in dogs and mamma cats with new kittens. So, maybe not common, but common enough.

It’s a common instinct since it catches nutrients that has passed through, and hides the tracks of an animal having been there.
