1. Sound-mimicking
When a human hears a catchy tune or sound, it will often start to mimic it. That can even go to the point that it starts annoying itself. They are capable of creating totally new sounds and they like to entertain others with them.
2. Patterns and traditions
Humans are inclined to like patterns and traditions. They teach their young the patterns they learned from their elders, even when they make absolutely no sense. For instance they celebrate the day they were born and congratulate each other every year basically with being alive.
3. Nests
Most humans enjoy spending time in each other’s nests, not to sleep, but just for fun. Often they will create a nest together, but they also visit other nests to play with each other. They are very social mammals that like to share their nest.
4. Helpfulness
When a human notices another human in distress, it will often try to assist. Most humans are very compassionate and will try to help, even at their own risk. Especially when the body starts secreting moisture from the eyes, humans feel the need to comfort the other.
5. Water playtime
Humans aren’t aquatic mammals, but when they discover a particularly pretty waterhole, they feel the urge to get in and just play around. They even make artificial waterholes to frolic in, although they can’t hold their breath for very long.
6. Adopting creatures
Sometimes humans adopt creatures from other species into their family. Humans even raise them alongside their own young and they don’t seem to notice the obvious differences. They like playing with the creatures and touch them for comfort.
7 Decorating the body
Humans tend to color and decorate parts of their bodies to impress the other (or the same) sex. A lot of them even permanently mark their bodies, without it serving a purpose. Sometimes they attach metal bits to their cartilaginous membranes or other parts, even when it decreases their attractiveness drastically.
8 Cocooning
When the sky goes dark and night falls, humans start getting drowsy and want to cocoon. They use fluffy, soft bedding to make a nest, in different colors and patterns. Their nests tend to be square and each has it’s own designated part of the nest.
9 Treats
Humans are really into treats. A lot of them will save treats for a later date when they are bored, or needing comfort. Some take their love of treats too far, so their bodies expand to unhealthy sizes, because they have difficulties with self-control.
10 “Ow!”
Humans tend to say “Ow!”, even when they haven’t been really hurt. They say it when they think they might have been hurt, but aren’t sure yet. It happens when they trip or bump something. The young tend to make a lot of noise to let the adults know they might have been hurt. Sometimes they even fake injuries to get attention!
11 Space exploration
Humans are very curious creatures, so they try to explore space. They haven’t gone very far, but they’ve found rocks and they are very excited when they think they found something new. The concept of ‘infinity’ is something humans are still incapable of understanding.
12 “Sorry”
Saying sorry for something totally involuntary is a recurring habit. They say it to each other, for instance when gas leaves their body. They excuse themselves when they sneeze, but congratulate others on their sneezes.
13 Excitement for others
When humans are competing each other, some of them can get really excited. They start cheering and clapping for the competing ones, even though they’re not doing anything but watch themselves. When their favorite people lose the game, they can get very upset.
14 Collecting stuff
Humans are collectors. They want to have a lot of things in their environments, even if it doesn’t really serve a purpose. They just like to look at things they own. Owning a lot of stuff usually makes the human content and proud.
15 Odd leaders
Humans select weird people to lead them. Quite often the leader actively ruins the territory it is charged with leading. Sometimes the leader turns into a power-hungry dictator, but humans have been selecting odd leaders for thousands of years. They appear to enjoy complaining about the leaders they have chosen themselves.
