【海外の反応】動物から見たら人間ってめっちゃ不気味な生き物説、ダチョウ事案で完全決着

Apparently ostriches find us unbelievably hot, to the point where it causes problems for ostriches breeding in captivity.

Depends on the animal, and it's not "weird" so much as triggering a specific category their brain doesn't have a good slot for.

Dogs and cats actually read our faces pretty well – they've evolved alongside us for thousands of years and pick up subtle expression cues other animals can't. To them we're not weird, we're just "the species that runs everything."

Wild animals are a different story. Most prey animals see a forward-facing-eye silhouette and immediately classify us as predator – the eye position alone is the giveaway, before they even process the rest. That's why deer freeze when you make eye contact and bolt when you don't. Same reason birds will tolerate you longer if you don't look directly at them.

The weirdest part to most animals isn't our look – it's the bipedal gait. Almost nothing else on land walks fully upright. A bear walking on two legs looks unsettling to us; we look like that to everything else, all the time.

Then there's the smell. We don't notice it because we're nose-blind to ourselves, but our scent profile is wildly unique – high in cooked-food markers, soap, synthetic chemicals from clothing. To a dog, you don't look weird, you smell like a chemistry set walking around.

I had my hair up in a hot pink bonnet and my dog could not stop staring at my head specifically the top of my head and my dog never stares at me like that … so they definitely notice what we look like

A land animal that always walks on two legs is rare on its own.

Honestly yeah we probably look insanely weird to a lot of animals 😭 especially because humans move around confidently while looking like hairless apes carrying glowing rectangles.

I always think about what my fingers look like to my cat.

They must look like weird tentacles but they don't care

I always think about how strange clothing must be to our pets. You can change the colors and patterns on your whole body whenever you want. You come home wearing jeans, a coat, and a hat and a minute later you are in your underwear and a few minutes later you are wearing your tracksuit.

Our scent is constantly changing thanks to the cosmetics and detergents we use and the smells we bring home from work or a bar…

Honestly, it is a miracle they can even recognize us 😀

I asked my cat.  She didn't say anything, but the look on her face speaks volumes.

Probably. We wear clothes, move funny, eat weird things, douse ourselves in weird smells, paint ourselves, the list is endless. I’d be more surprised if the didn’t think we were weird.
