ABSTRACT
Animals certainly experiences the urge of his instincts much more than man does. His instinctive world preponderates over other inner experiences. Some few animals may enjoy a paradise on earth where they are free from all danger (for instance, the dwellings of men for his domestic animals and the Zoological Gardens for the few wild animals that have found a refuge there), but such paradises are exceptions. The animal in nature lives in constant danger, and this danger will impart a special colour to his world, unknown to most of us. To start with, the order of the senses is different in different animals. The visual world of blind animals is of course much poorer than that of better equipped ones. Thus every animal lives in his own world, differing from that of other animals, differing especially from that of man.
