Something that just crossed my mind...

Every now and again you here of cases where a human has been living with say a pack of wolves or dogs and the animals are treating the human has one of them and the human either thinks he's a dog or wolf or does a good impression. Also, you here cases like this from Africa with people living with lions, monkeys, etc and almost becoming one of them.
Now, my question is, humans are the most advanced species on his planet, if we were to watch a certain type of animal for a while and practice it's calls, movements, etc. Do you think we could ever trick the animal we were one of them?
Obviously, the movements would have to be humanly possible.
What do you think?

Intellectually, humans are strong, we learn fast, our intelligence makes us adaptable to al sorts of environments.
Physically we're weak.
arguably though, one man could beat one wolf if he brokek its neck, though a pack vs a human would be game over unless the human had some form of weapon or deterrant.
physical strength is all relative anyway, some animals would crush us, some we would crush them.
the badger, quite obviously.
there is a wolf man somewhere that lives with wolves. America I think. Tigers have been brought up with humans to think of them as 'family'.
My friend used that as a chat up line once.
Real question is what would win in a fight between a pack of snakes and single mongoose?
me tarzan ...you jane!
No.
It goes against basic principles of nature, speices know where they belong and know who does or does not belong to them.
Really, we couldn't "trick" them. Animals are mostly afraid of us, for a good reason! We treat them like shit.
But when you grow up with them... animals help you, trust you... you often dont even see humans doing that with other humans! And we treat the planet with no respect... animals don't do that, they live at one with it!
Then tell me who is most advanced?
Animals can damage the environment as well, just we've got a nice system of systematic destruction and pollution.
Yes... but they don't to the degree we do. Cows pollute more than cars... but before WE started our mass pollution and destruction... it was balanced out by other things.
We can't seemingly live at one with nature, we seem to oppose it's flow.
