In many ancient cultures, people often had legends or myths about animals becoming spirits or possessing human intelligence. These traditions may stem from observations of animal behavior, or they may stem from people's desire to explain some phenomena by demystifying animals. However, modern scientific opinion believes that animals do not have human intelligence and cannot truly "become spirits".
Nonetheless, some animals do exhibit astonishing abilities in intelligence and behavior. For example, some species possess highly developed social structures and intelligence, capable of displaying extremely complex behavioral patterns and emotional expressions. In addition, some animals exhibit abilities in learning, tool use, and emotional connection that go somewhat beyond what was once considered animal behavior.
In general, animals were endowed with various mysterious and supernatural qualities in ancient cultures, but modern science believes that these qualities mainly originate from human interpretations and depictions of animal behavior and are not real. However, our understanding of animals continues to advance, and our understanding of them continues to deepen, giving us a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of their intelligence and behavior.
