Whether flocks of birds or schools of fish all moving in unison, this is one of the most easy to see and common examples of common consciousness.

Just lke the birds, they seem to be tapping into something bigger than each bird or fish. Ever get an idea, or think of someone at the same time as someone else?

Ever have a gut feeling or strong intuition about something? Ever wish you acted on it? Animals unlike humans, don't double check their intuition against social norms or eticate, job requirements etc, and so can teach us some amazing things.
