Sydney AUSTRALIA I believe love is primal. Many animals in nature show a tendency to care and love their offspring. I do not believe it takes intelligence to love. Just because we associate reptiles with snakes, crocks, and lizards with the rough style feeding they display does not mean they are minus emotions. It means they are animals that need to eat. Oh they are cold blooded. Simply, that means they need the sun to survive. This is a biological fact. We are intelligent beings yet we make nuclear weapons. It was based on our ignorance and curiosity that the weapons were used. This is a different question. If the reptiles were an intelligent community I believe they would be exactly like us. Some good, some evil, some hateful, some vengeful. Only if they had their own planet though. If they were on earth they would be shunned, which would create a great amount of hatred. Which would look like they did not love. Do you love Osama bin Laden? I believe he has some love. Love for his people, love for his religion, hey he might be a romantic man. We as Americans hate him.

San Mateo, CA USA uh, ok. Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA I don't know much about the way animals think, but I would like to think that they would. Sarah Jane, 15
Preston, CT USA Why don't you ask them? Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA Well, I'm no reptile expert, but from what little I do know of them, I'd have to sat no, they would not value romantic love. This is a question for Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter! Tam That is the most ridiculous question I've ever come across on 2000 days. Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA Sure? Maybe? That's kind of a hard question because who really knows the evolution of emotions? Triana, 29
Austin, TX USA Why not? Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA Stop! You're making my brain hurt again. Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA I'm not quite sure why a civilization of intelligent mammals values romantic love so much, to be honest. Cancer, 20
NYC, NY USA If they're intelligent then I guess that love would hold the same value that it does to us. Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch, CO USA Haven't you ever watched Star Trek? Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA Not sure. Don't know of intelligent reptiles or civilizaton of them. Stephanie, 25
TX USA Wow, I don't know. I think my frogs were really good friends and maybe loved each other. Frogs aren't reptiles, though. But I'd like to think reptiles have similar motivation. Karen, 22
Ames, IA USA That's the most bizzare question i've yet to recieve from here :P And i think its completely unanswerable. Who knows? Maybe. Talia, 25
Stamford, CT USA Yes...yes, this is definitely the new front-runner in Strangest Question contest. Alias Irrelevante who knows, but do female mammals value reptiles? I don't. Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA I don't know, but I do not value romantic value...of course I am a neanderthal, so I guess that is similar to intelligent reptiles, or maybe not, I don't know...whatever. Luki, 31
Valhalla OK. Who's been reading the science fiction? Or maybe Steve Erwin, the Crocodile Hunter, sent in this question. Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA I think that's probably the most bizarre question I've ever gotten from 2000 Days! My answer would have to be "why wouldn't they?" If you mean that the reptiles have the same reasoning and thinking capabilities humans currently do, there's no reason to think they wouldn't value romantic love. etoile, 21
Washington, DC USA I'm going to have to say, I really have no idea at all. But an interesting question that I think we all should ponder. Ryan, 29
Morton, IL USA I think you have to be intelligent to know love, so sure.. Why not? Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV USA Perhaps eventually. I mean, we didn't even have romantic love until the 16th century. Keri-Jade, 21
