> animals see themselves as part of a much larger whole

I really don't think animals pay any attention to abstract concepts like this at all.

Let me rephrase actually. They don’t think it. They just know it. They don’t live in constant anxiety like us.

I think most prey animals in fact do live in a constant state of anxiety.

I see you have not met my friend's dog.

>They just know it.

Tell that to cane toads.
