Here's a breakdown:
* Opines: Means "to express an opinion or belief."
* Animals: Non-human living organisms, typically lacking the complex cognitive abilities to form opinions in the way humans do.
If you're looking to describe an animal's behavior or actions, you would likely use different words. For example, you could say:
* "The dog appears to be happy."
* "The cat seems to be afraid of the vacuum cleaner."
* "The bird is singing a beautiful song."
These phrases describe what the animal is doing or how it is behaving, without attributing human-like opinions to it.
