I think the biggest problem is what we have no clue what the motivation IS, we can only guess by what we FEEL it should be. So I may feel that a certain animal should have certain motivations, you make think I am completely wrong... so our ideas of what an animal might [i[think[/i] could be different.
In general we probably have some culturally similar ideas if we are in the same culture, and probably based more on movies then reality, but I dunno how far that would go? I have never tried to write a animal personality so I dunno.
