Ever wonder if animals share our quirky habits and emotional complexities? National Geographic Wild’s “Animals, They’re Just Like Us!” explores those very questions. This Friday, April 4th at 9:00 PM ET, the series continues with “Lion Daycare,” an episode filled with surprising glimpses into the lives of animals around the world.
From monkeys adding a dash of seasoning to their meals to lemurs dabbing on a bit of cologne, the episode features a menagerie of creatures engaging in behaviors that seem oddly human. Even bees get in on the act, with their warning “screams” demonstrating a complex communication system that rivals our own.
“Animals, They’re Just Like Us!” travels across seven continents to observe how animals compete, cooperate, show affection, and even mourn. The series offers a lighthearted yet informative look at the animal kingdom, revealing the surprising ways our furry, feathered, and scaled counterparts reflect our own experiences. Stream it on Hulu, too.
