duchesses and other animals

It could be that princesses have a more traditional and romantic connotation in storytelling. They tend to be associated with fairytales and happy endings, which makes them a popular choice for fiction writers. Duchesses might not have the same level of charm or accessibility in the imagination of the audience.

Maybe it's because the image of a princess is more romantic and classic in people's minds. It's a common trope that's been used for a long time.

Yes, mange can be contagious to other animals. It's a skin condition that can spread easily among animals in close contact.

Well, it's a bit of a stretch to say that animals 'tell stories' in the way humans do. But certain behaviors can be interpreted as sharing information. Dolphins use a series of clicks and whistles to communicate with each other. These vocalizations might be a way of passing on details about their environment, like the presence of food or predators. However, it's not like they are sitting around and narrating events like we do when we tell stories. So, kind of, but not really in the traditional sense.

Yes, in a way some animals can be seen as 'telling stories'. For example, bees communicate the location of nectar sources to their hive mates through a special dance. This is like a story about where food can be found. Another example is birds that sing complex songs. These songs can convey information about territory, mating availability, and warnings. It's a form of communication that shares important details, much like the essence of a story.

I don't think so. Animals communicate, but it's more about immediate needs and responses. A cat's meow is mostly to get attention, like for food or affection. There's no indication that it's trying to convey a story about its day or something it experienced. Similarly, a fish doesn't have any way of 'telling a story' as we understand it. Their behavior is more instinct - driven.

Yes, in a way some animals can be considered to 'tell stories'. For example, bees do a waggle dance which can be seen as a form of communication that conveys information about the location of food sources. It's like they are 'telling' other bees a story about where to find nectar. Another example is birds that sing complex songs. Some of these songs might be used to mark territory, but they could also be seen as a way of communicating experiences or information to other birds, much like a story.

Yes, mange is infectious. It depends on the type of mange and the specific circumstances. Some types are more likely to spread than others. For example, sarcoptic mange is highly contagious and can easily pass between animals and potentially to humans with close exposure.

Demodectic mange isn't highly contagious to other animals. It usually occurs due to underlying health issues in an individual animal and isn't easily passed on.

In the 'animals stranded on an island story', the interaction among animals is complex. Herbivores may gather in groups not only for protection but also to share information about food sources. Predators, on the other hand, need to be strategic in their hunting to ensure they can catch enough prey to survive. Some animals might mark their territories, which could lead to conflicts with other animals. There could also be cooperation among different species in some cases. For example, if there is a large predator on the island, smaller animals of different species might work together to avoid being hunted. This could involve sharing lookout duties or creating distractions for the predator. Over time, these interactions can shape the social structure and survival strategies of the animals on the island.
