Humans, I would bet, could distinguish between two animals they've never seen based only on a loose or tangential description. I.e. "A dog hunts animals by tracking and chasing them long enough to exhaust their energy, but a cat is opportunistic and strikes using stealth and agility."
A human that has never seen a dog or a cat could probably determine which is which based on looking at the two animals and their adaptations. This would be an interesting test for AIs, but I'm not quite sure how one would formulate a eval for this.

Literal decades of training time and carefully curated curriculum learning are required for a human to perform at what we consider ‘human level’.
