A survey of 100 researchers in animal behavior, conducted by Marcela Benítez and colleagues from Emory University and published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, has provided insights into current scientific views on animal emotions and consciousness. The survey reflects a growing acceptance of these capacities in a wide range of animals, highlighting the evolving perspectives in the field of animal behavior.
| Animal Group | Percentage Believing in Emotions |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------|
| Non-human primates | 98% |
| Other mammals | 89% |
| Birds | 78% |
| Cephalopods | 72% |
| Fish | 53% |
| Insects | 67% |
| Other invertebrates | 71% |
