From a survival point of view, the main biological needs that drive animals and humans are not particularly different. Humans and animals need to eat and drink in order to survive, take shelter, and they feel an impulse to reproduce in order to keep the species alive. But, as it is evident, the behavior of humans and animals differ completely.
