Which animals other than humans have snake fear imprinted on their DNA? I already know cats and bears have it too hence why they are scared of cucumbers and belts

Apes
Fear can not be "imprinted" in DNA
Other snakes.
Why are some people afraid of snakes while others aren't? I love snakes but almost everyone else around me is afraid of them
because theyre monkeys
Fear of snakes and spiders is conditioned by the mother in apes
they're less evolved

Isn't immediate subconscious recognition of them a holdover from when our ancestors were tree-dwelling and they were a legitimate danger?
I like snakes but if my periphery sees one I'll still jerk back before I consciously realize what it is. Same fear response you'd get if you were sure you were alone but suddenly noticed someone was standing in the corner, survival instinct 101 shit. We just have special attention for slithering movement.

Speak for yourself, weird cunt.
Horses.
I dont think this counts. A plastic bag will give a horse a panic attack so bad it'll break all its legs.
God I love Pongos so much it's unreal
I know it looks like he's cute and hugging them, but the dude is straight-up using his family as a shield
ywn whack your snake in front of an orangutan audience
Cats don't, idk about bears. Baby humans don't fear snakes either so I don't think it's in the DNA like it is for Orangutans
recognition =/= fear
rabbits
Chickens. I really freak mine out with a wooden snake toy.
And I've never been able to replicate the cat thing. I think it's just people with spazzy cats.
