Recently, William Roberts and his colleagues from Western's Pychology Department studied the research of animals being able to tell how much time has past but not able to recognize past or future. The idea to study this came from realzing that dog owners notice that their dog seems very happy seeing them as five minutes away to five hours. The animal they used to do research was a rat. Once studying the rats the scientists realized rats were able to keep track of how much time passed since they were fed cheese as well as the size but were unable to place the memory in a time.
I think that that is just weird. I never really thought of an animal having a different mind then how a human has one.
