Why animals do things if they are not motivated by emotions?
- detaro 7y ago... as a cause for crying. Not overall.
- leetbulb 7y agoA complex mixture of instinct and conditioning. Generally what they do is motivated by instinctual needs. How they go about fulfilling is determined through their environmental conditioning. This applies to humans as well. Also, certain things animals do that we've yet to understand are often anthropomorphized.
