The Internet loves the meme, “If not friend, why friend-shaped?” We took the question seriously and asked an expert. 🎤✏️ Carin Leong 🎞️ Kylie Murphy 📸 Getty Images 🎵 Epidemic Sound
I'm not buying the "they look similar to us" thing as cute, because I don't think apes and gorillas are cute at all. They're majestic but not cute. Bears look cute. I think it's more that they look like a big dog.
1. bears can be friendly based on their education 2. "friend shaped" is subjective for example I dont find them as cute and I dont find dogs cute at all, same for human babies, I do not like them
Oh oh. Woman presented as expert...let the bashing begin. Stephen Jay Gould, the famous scientist, discussed the same observations, I guess he was dumb and unscientific, too.
Nothing is inherently "friend shaped" and, yes, scientists can make errors. You know the sure thing for true sexism (and racism) to be ignored is to label everything sexism (and label everything racism). Gang members are shaped like friendly humans. Poodles and Corgis and wolves. All technically dogs. It is that we have teddy bears and Paddington Bear, this isn't a mystery. The Bambi effect is why so many are hurt by deer, people approach deer in a way they would not a lion or a rattlesnake.
No. They definitely do, and this is shown by the fact that they do in fact hunt on that sea ice. If they couldn’t smell prey through it, they couldn’t catch anything.
