[Talk] From the National Geographic Channel
This TV program has been one of my favorites--it introduces into many
real world scenes and phenomena, especially where the scientific theories
are applied into empirical activities.
Yesterday I saw an episode which showed of a place where there is crocodiles
and some kind of antelopes (with smaller size). The crocodile normally
can sustain themselves by feeding on the fishes in the pond. But the fish
may not be enough once in a while (or the crocodile wants to try a new
flavor). So the crocodile may lurch below the water surface, waiting the
antelopes or deers to drink water.
That's when I find it interesting. An antelope had to near the pond even
though she knows there was danger, or it could die of thirst. It slowly
and carefully came closer to the body of water, which seemed innocuously
normal, only a reflection of the blue sky (even to me, a view in front of
the TV set, I didn't believe there's a crocodile hiding underneath).
Just alongside the small lake, the little creature still couldn't calmly
quench its thirst--it quickily dipped once or twice, and jumped away immedia-
tely!
That act reminded me of human behavior--this kind of uncertainty also exists
in animal psychology!
From the antelope's behavior--stealthy water-taking means it's aware of
a crocodile's spying; jumping away (from the menace) proactively means
it calculated that the crocodile would launch attack when it's preoccupied
with some "business," I think any creature, as long as it is endowed with
perceptionary organs such as a pair of eyes, its ,ental matrix is conditioned
or framed by these available "data"--the antelope may have witnessed its
fellows victimized that way, so that memory enables it (even burdensomely,
unfortunately) to, forces it to behave paranoidly each time it tried drinking
water.
