Yeah I imagine it’s much easier for animals to recognize individuals of their own species than individuals of another. e.g. Humans have specialized brain circuitry for recognizing human faces, but all horse or bird faces basically look the same to us. A bird might easily think all humans look basically the same but obviously each bird is totally different.
