Another classic example of the human instinct for anthropomorphization concerns bass, in this case the mighty Potatoe Bass, which are common off the reefs of East Africa in the warm Indian Ocean. What appears to be ‘friendly’ behaviour, as in the bass swimming in real close and checking you out is far more likely to be an aggressive sign of dominance, as in “get the *&^% out of here!” Evidence? Ask Mike Wood, who was bitten on the face by a bass while freediving at a depth of 60 feet, or any spearo who has lost fish to these amaziningly aggresive animals. Scientists claim that Zambezi sharks have the most relative testoterone of any animal alive - I reckon that pound for pound, the humble friendly bass has more!
