   Better and more successful at *what* has to be defined first.   
   I'm having trouble following what that behavior and species has   
   to do with anticipation and sense of time. Perhaps I missed the   
   connection you were trying to illustrate, but going back   
   to examples that some other posters were talking about I tend   
   to believe that it's more due to wired in instincts and/or conditioned   
   responses,depending upon the species.

   Is there any proof that English borrows words?? I mean, have we ever   
   given one back? Do we pay for a replacement if we break one? How does   
   this work?
