This new ad campaign for the **Madrid Zoo** shows us what humans can learn from the animal kingdom. The print ads, which were created by Sra Rushmore United ad agency, Madrid, show a side-by-side portrayal of an animal and a human with a unique message explaining what we, as humans, can learn from the depicted animal.

Messages include: â€œElephants never abandon the elderly;â€ â€œA lion never uses his strength to humiliate another;â€ â€œWhen two [clans of gorillas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-station) meet, they always avoid conflict;â€ â€œBears don't discriminate when their young are female;â€ â€œWhen a [dolphin finds a hurt dolphin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-indian-manatee), he helps it stay afloat,â€ and â€œThe only difference between panthers and leopards is color.â€

If animals try to avoid conflict, why do we as intelligent and evolved beings seem to seek it? After all, according to Braun, the only difference is a 5 minutes shave.
