Formica,
by this logic, would you you expect reptiles that are more protective of their young to be more capable of or likely to form an emotional bond?

yes I would say so, for eg those which incubate their own eggs (eg carpet pythons), are far more protective of their eggs, than those which dont, and a few (for eg Crocs) go so far as protecting their young beyond hatching - an emotional bond must exist for this to happen, whether they can discribe that emotional bond in abstract human terms, is irrelevant imo, a crocs teeth says it all!
