The Five Cs in other animal species

A note for Lesson no. 7, "Our Brains Can Create Reality," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 118 is:

Each of the Five C's is found in other animals to varying extents.

What is this?

See these references for the statements I make about animals in lesson no. 7:

  • "Crows [...] are creative problem-solvers who use twigs as tools." For example: [1][2]
  • "Elephants communicate in low rumbles that can travel for miles." For example: [3][4][5]
  • "Whales copy each other’s songs." For example: [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
  • "Ants cooperate to find food and defend their nest." For example: [13][14][15][16][17]
  • "Bees use abstraction as they wiggle their bums to tell their hive-mates where to find nectar." For example: [18][19][20]
  • "Songbirds learn their songs from adult tutors." For example: [21][22][23]
  • "Meerkats teach their offspring to kill by bringing them half-dead prey to practice on."[24]
  • "Rats teach each other what’s safe to eat by marking palatable foods with an odor." (See examples in the note "other creatures regulate each other's body budgets.")
  • "Chimps can observe and copy each other’s practices, like poking a stick into termite holes to pull out tasty snacks...."[25][26][27]

For more fascinating examples, see Laland (2017) and references therein.[28]
