Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans

◆Horses are picky eaters

Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do.When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔)，their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't sense.This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows，eating only the tastiest grasses，experts say.

◆A whale says thanks

In 2011，a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it.Afterward，in an hourlong display of thanks，the whale swam near their boat and leaped

into the air about 40 times.

◆Pandas like to be naughty

Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda，except maybe a human baby？In fact，baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies.They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs.Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw or ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.

◆A cat honours its owner

Paper towels，and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo，a devoted threeyearold grayandwhite cat，has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo's grave every day since the man died in September 2011.Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old，and the two formed an inseparable bond.After Renzo passed away，Toldo followed the coffin to the

cemetery，and now “stands guard” at the grave for hours at a time.
