There is the beautiful saying:

“The squirrel feeds hard”

So I’d say persistence and diligence in food search. It would be the counterpart to bee and ant.

Bubbles that build on their dam are also persistent and tireless.

What makes a big difference, and therefore probably also has taken care of the formation of this association of bee/ameise and diligence, that it is a state insect, in which the individual members are only responsible for a certain “work” and do nothing else, that is, for example, do not have to worry about reproduction, but only and exclusively protect the construction, raise food, feed the larvae etc. In mammals, there’s something like that only in the mulles, otherwise in no way. So they have more tasks to distribute their energy and cannot afford to fix themselves for a long time only on a single thing like nesting or food search, otherwise the whole rest remains on the track.

What you call a diligent serves only and solely for the purpose of survival, the animals only care for eating and for breeding so for the preservation of their species, and that does the bee or ant just like an monkey or a lazy animal, and that does not only exist in mammals, but of course also in reptiles or birds, fishing and all other species of animals, or do you think the boil?
It’s just feeding.
Only man kills for low motives.

I think that the FS or the FS already thinks the proverbial sense or the way of speech “feeling like a bee”. The fact that the animals, whether insect, mammal, bird or reptile in free wildlife, do not fall into the mouth is actually clear. This, however, does not alter the fact that we are now assigning certain characteristics to certain animals – smart like a fox, scary like a rabbit, fast like a horse, etc.

Smart like the mouse that escapes the fox, brave as the haeze that flicks in the saucer instead of running away, fast like a rabbit or bear – both faster like horses…

Anthropocentric prescriptions serve more moralization and what do I know child education as the zoological description…

Speech species also have nothing to do with zoological descriptions. These notes have grown culturally. Their roots have been admired or feared in the pre-Christian period and the animals that were worshipped at that time. And the bear has not been brought into contact with speed, but with strength, the fox with belly, the snake with cunning, the raven with death or the other world, the eagle with pride, the owl with wisdom etc. That doesn’t mean that a mouse can’t be smart, but an animal that ruins your supplies doesn’t connect with positive properties per se.

It also has no zoological background that the stork is considered a symbol of happiness and stands for children’s blessings. The bird should not care about it, but it is part of our Central European and German culture. If you go to India, China or to the North American Indians, some of them combine some other domestic animals with the same characteristics.

Such censuses and fables do not raise the claim to be correct and yes, there is always a morality of the history in which the animals appear symbolically for human character traits.

The word “flesty” is a definition that we give specifications/frame.

Maybe your ant isn’t diligent, but the individual isn’t efficient?

A lazy animal also survives many years and is not as “flesh” as an ant.

The term diligent is totally anthropocentric thought…

If you really want to apply this to animals, this also applies to any kind that successfully survives, raises boy, meets winter preparations, puts supplies, builds, walks and…

Beaver, marmots, forest mouse, wolf, fox, caribou, elephant, bats, rabbits, roof, and and…

Ask a mouse in a bird box, which she filled with acorns, the one and three more…

How different can one call it diligent?

Or the beaver with his dam, the ‘nose or the roof with his construction…

By the way, with birds, just the same thing: count how often meiseneltern feed in the box, how many acorns a squirrel is hiding, how many mosquitoes a swallow or a wall sailor has to collect, how many wings a bird has to make…

I find peanuts and nude mullet are diligent but in general all mammals do as much as possible to survive

HugoHustensaft

All mammals are diligent, because they ensure that their brood is raised and they do not starve, even storage like something in squirrels is at the end precisely this purpose – is also the case with bees and ants. Man is a special feature that hunts and collects more regularly than he needs …

Yes of course there are diligent animals, some even.

Squirrels, hamsters, mice… Everything a camp for the winter builds up.

Then all the animals that build a building or hunting animals. From beaver to rabbit to fox etc.

Because rotten animals usually don’t survive long.
