    A lot of animals can imprint on the wrong species, or grow attached because of being around them during hormone spikes or formative years.

    Cats that give birth to litters of kittens form very strong attachments right after, to the point that they can adopt animals they would normally kill for a short time. Lots of stories of farmcats getting attached to ducklings and dumb shit like that.

    Animals that grow up with adults of the wrong species will some times mimic their behaviour and possibly believe they are the same species. Newly hatched birds can imprint on human owners as if they were their parents.

    It's not so far fetched that a whale that grows up around more human handlers than other whales might get a weird relationship to them.

        Yes they definitely can. It's a survival strategy in social animals, and asocial ones still get learned helplessness.

        She looks like she fricks human men.

        She very literally does, and has been inseminated many times.

    Well usually it's food but some animals do bond with a mate and in the absence of a suitable mate will bond to humans. Like if you keep a single pet pigeon.
    I'm don't think affection from cats and dogs can be considered equivalent to human love since dogs are naturally pack animals and neither have consistent mates. Dogs probably see humans more like friends or pack leaders and cats see them as some kind of mothers.

      So if I had a female pigeon she would consider me her mate?

        Make sure not to pet her below the head, as that's courting behavior in many birds

            >To help your bird build a healthy bond with both you and other people, keep caresses and petting limited to the head or feet only, and ask others to do the same.
            >The reason for this is that birds’ sexual organs are located directly under the wings on a bird’s back. If you offer your bird full body strokes, you are actually stimulating the production of sexual hormones.
            >Petting down the back or under the wings can lead to a sexually frustrated bird, or a bird who perceives you as a mate rather than a companion. A mated bonded bird can be hostile to others in your home, becoming jealous or possessive of you.
            So, just make sure to keep her from being frustrated.

              What the frick, no.
              >Petting down the back or under the wings can lead to a sexually frustrated bird
              A bird will always become sexually frustrated if they don't have a mate. The target of their flirting will likely be you unless you're a neglectful frick, in which case they'll probably just go insane and endlessly try to court a mirror or toy.
              Anyone who gets a solo bird is implicitly agreeing to be mate to that bird. Birds are personal pets for someone who has a ton of time and doesn't mind getting their hand fricked a few times a year. Otherwise you get a pair, hope they work well together, and enjoy them from a bit more distance since they won't want to do much with you since they have a mate.

      It can happen even when a suitable mate is available. Especially with birds for some reason. Chickens, pigeons, parrots, corvids, cranes, ostriches and emus. All of them have tried to mate bond with humans in captivity even when they were exposed to other members of their species.

      Wolves mate for life, or at least try to. For some reason, dogs don’t form
      “Alpha pair”’ bonds consistently when they frick other dogs but they become extremely attached to one specific human. Alpha pairs of wolves play with each other more often than any other bond and also groom each other frequently. The alpha pair has more oxytocin between them than any other wolf set besides maybe the mother and their pups.

      This is the relationship your dog has witj you unless they’re retriever levels of neotenous. Then, they think you’re their mother.

    Many animals get horny in adulthood and court whatever they have positive exposure towards. She chose both whoever seems to be socially high ranking and interested in spending time with her. It's exactly the same process as human courting in the end.

      I imagine it has to do with the fact that these animals recognize the zookeepers as a provider and most likely see them as a dominant male because of what they can do.

    Normally? What makes people think that animals feel some sort of obligation to only like their own species?
    Your dog is already in love with you from the moment you start feeding it. You have to teach most dogs that humping their owners is not okay.

    In captivity whales tend to go a little loopy. They're too intelligent to be cooped up in a tiny basin. Much like people being confined to a cubicle all day.

      That doesn't make any sense. Cubicals are the invention of intelligent minds. It's the dumb primal side of animals that hate them.

        Cubicles were invented by intelligent people, but they were the managers who don't have to use them.

        Cubicles were invented as a torturous form of cost-efficient control. They were meant to blunt intelligence, to crush it, and force people to just do what they were told. Intelligent minds can invent horrible things glad to know they won't be subject to them.

        We kind of do the same thing to dogs, especially for army shit. They totally isolate them so any work they're given seems like an exciting task. Since outright caging humans results in them plotting their death we made a cage with an open top that they "can leave" (but can't or they'll be fired)

      Emotional attachment isn't something specific to humans.

      Haven't watched the video, but I'm assuming the title isn't meant to be read literally, as in this beluga wants the human wiener (potentially debatable in some such cases) and wants to settle down as a family. So basically
