A lot of these interesting facts also underscore the similarities and emotional connections that people can share with animals, which raises a broader and more intriguing question – what is it about animals that we love so much? According to scientists at the California Institute of Technology and the University of California at Los Angeles, humans experience an emotional reaction to animals (both cute and dangerous) in an ancient and fundamental part of their brain called the amygdala. The amygdala is involved with emotion, emotional learning, and the formation of memories. So it could be that our appreciation for fun animals stems from an ancient need to evaluate whether these animals were friends or foes. And it could be that they react in just the same way to us. Let’s leave this question open for now though, as there’s a list of animal trivia and fun facts about animals waiting for you below.
