People probably assume that they have nothing in common with today’s wild animals. After all, we clothe ourselves, produce musical masterpieces, and send people into space.
But what if you were to learn we have far more similarities with our wild brethren than meets the eye? Animals, in fact, do many of the same things we do, from fawning over rock stars, to chatting about their kids. We’re not so different from our wild friends.
1.) Whales can have best hit playlists.
2.) Animals have regional accents.
3.) Bats sing the best love songs.
4.) Female sparrows love rock stars.
5.) Turtles chat about their kids.
6.) Moths do dirty talk.
7.) Nightingales get more attractive with age.
8.) Songbirds insult and even curse each other.
9.) Spiders make music on the web.
10.) Young female mice are attracted to musical talent.
Female Alston singing mice, like some of the other bird species above, prefer more difficult, flashier songs from their mates.
It’s believed that female mice use the male’s singing ability to determine his suitability as a mate. “What makes a great performance is how rapidly males can repeat notes while maintaining a large range of frequencies of each note,” says researcher Bret Pasch. “Female preference seems to be based on how well males perform songs.”

All of these 10 things sound exactly like what we do on a daily basis. We pine over rock stars, bicker with family, and brag about our kids with the best of them. So it’s no wonder than our relatives in the animal kingdom not only do the same, but maybe even take a little more stock in them. Which begs the question: do you really still think we’re so different?
