What emotions do wildlife portray?
Go away!
two chickadees passionately fighting over food.
Brain Freeze
Domesticated cat dumbfounded over the snow
Calm and curious
Chickadee in a dark thicket, curiously eyeing a group of humans.
(might change this because birds are always like this)
A very curious bird
A junco tilts its head, intrigued by the sudden abundance of barley grains.
Annoyance
The cat narrows its eyes and stares at the human who keeps pointing a black object that makes strange sounds
Can i join?
(context)A small black squirrel looks over towards the larger grey squirrels feasting. Its expression in its face and arms resembles a shy desire to join, or a clever plan.
Wary
Although it is debated that insects feel emotion, the stance of the praying mantis portrays a sense of defensiveness and danger to the viewer.
The water is too cold!
A snowy egret seems to be in discomfort after a wave splashed over it.
Huh?
The grey squirrel is surprised and startled, displaying a paw up--ready to run.
Deep in thought
A juvenile red tailed hawk looks towards the sky. He seems to be in profound thinking--perhaps a master plan for the next meal
Stern
The hawk's supraorbital ridge--a bony ridge above the eye makes the bird look like it has a furrowed brow.
Lord of the lawn
The long haired cat reclines in the grass, pointing her chin up as if she ruled the land
A plea
The Canadian goose points its beak up as if making a plea. Or it might just be uncomfortable while discharging feces.
Perplexed
A male goose arches its head, displaying a slightly perplexed state--a little bit of anxiety and confusion.
Helpful
Despite the common knowledge that Canadian geese are aggressive, this goose seems kind and helpful--pointing its wing as if giving directions.
