Writing Assignment: Dumbest Organism
When you think of koalas you think cute and adorable and cuddly, and I agree with that. Despite their cuteness, they’re generally a dumb animal with a low level of any intellectual abilities.

Koalas spend nearly 80% of their time asleep and when they are awake they spend their time eating, pooping, and occasionally screaming like they’re the spawn of Satan because why not.

    Australia was originally in the Antarctic circle as part of Gondwana, a supercontinent that consisted of Australia, Antarctica, Africa, and South America. It was part of the land and then broke off and slowly moved up to where it is now. New Zealand and the other surrounding islands also came from this same land, but, they broke off to form islands of their own. Because of the greenhouse conditions on the planet at the time of Gondwana, the area, despite being in the Antarctic circle, had no polar icecaps and was able to support both plant and animal life.12 The Australasian lands, which include Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, various Pacific islands, were once all connected.12 Australasia remained attached to Antarctica longer than its Gondwanan neighbors. It is this unique origin and isolation that accounts for the unique variety of species found on the continent.12…

This essay will attempt to first define what is meant by theory of mind, then will look at three studies and their approaches to researching theory of mind in non- human animals. It will briefly summarise, in turn, what each study attempted to achieve, how the study was conducted, and the subsequent finding of each study, specifically looking at areas of theory of mind which relate to chimps ' understanding of human problem solving and visual perception in both humans and other chimpanzees. “Theory of mind” refers to the way in which people understand other humans as thinking beings.…
