social animal

Like humans, Hvaldi is a large-brained, highly social animal.

Rather, it appears to have been a social animal that worked in packs.

He was a social animal, not a gym monkey.

The ability would be useful for any social animal, Völter says, as they need to intuit whether their group mates are about to harm or help them when they approach, say, with a stick in their hand.

"I just think it's really cool that such a social animal has evolved so separately from humans, and that we still seem to converge on how important social ties are."
