Jealousy is a feeling not even animals can escape.
People often link jealousy to resentfulness while others call it protective behavior. In some books, jealousy is defined as a feeling of suspicion that develops in someone who thinks their partner is attracted to someone else. In other literature, jealousy is basically being strongly protective of your own rights. What we know is, in layman’s terms, jealousy is a feeling that is coupled with inferiority, you feel you aren’t being placed where you should be and someone else is on a spot you should’ve been on. Jealousy can result in further expressiveness of so many emotions like sadness, anger, and in some cases depression as well. The factor of jealousy mainly, in our society today, is seen in the matters of love. The middle child might feel jealous because the little one just got given an iPad on their first birthday while they were only given a whiteboard. A woman may feel jealous of another woman who is laughing around with her boyfriend, which would incite anger and your brains are better developed to think of the consequences of such kind of jealousy.
Jealousy is not restricted just to humans. Whoever can feel emotions can feel jealous and that includes animals as well. Our pets can get very jealous and that can result in some very hilarious and adorable moments. Jealousy in pet animals usually arises when their owner is either not giving them the required attention or is giving love to another animal.
Let’s look at some pictures of animals being jealous and see those hilarious faces they make. You do feel a little for them because they look so innocent.

I have seen so many humans get jealous and I am pretty sure they did not look this adorable nor did I ever see any innocence dripping down their faces. Jealousy when coupled with an animal is far more enjoyable to the eye but we must acknowledge the fact that the emotion is real and the animals really do feel very resentful and suspicious. Love them so much, no one can ever take their positions and everyone should be clear on that.
