How intelligent would a wild animal have to be to not fear fire?
How intelligent would an animal(land bound animal) have to be to not fear fire?
It's unable to make it or control it, but when a person is sitting by one, and while other animals act more traditionally keeping away from it, this animal knows that the fire is controlled and so is not to be feared.
This animal would be capable of learning by example from other species and even go against basic instincts.
Would it be able of further reasoning? I mean, as it recognises that that fire can't hurt it, how much smarter than the regular beasts would it be?
Its a wild animal, averse to humans. Although it would gladly eat one or two small ones if it could.
