You have the ability to distinguish colours, whereas many animals cannot, and depend on other sensations that are beyond human capabilities. Every species experiences the world in a unique way, not only because the senses provide different levels of perception, but due to the way each consciousness interprets the information. You may be a cat owner, and consider it to be your somewhat loyal, and rather independent pet. It is a remarkable feat that a cat can teach such dangerous predators anything at all. They experience life in a way distinctive to their species, and attach a different meaning to everything, because it is subject to their perspective.
All life perceives the world only from a perspective dictated by physical and mental attributes.
Every species has evolved its own structure, and all life-forms are genetically programmed to behave in certain ways. Humans share a great deal with other primates, yet the differences are profound. No other life-form perceives reality in the same way as humans. Even if you cloned two people and raised them in identical environments, they would still develop into different individuals. Each experience leads to the formation of synaptic pathways within the brain.
