I think it may be more along the lines of certain herd animals possessing the ability to collaborate. It's not merely the ability to track movement of one or multiple other moving objects and compensate as an individual, but to compensate as a group or cohesive whole towards a shared goal.

I think there may be some value in the distinction, but I'm not fully cognizant of the vagaries of herd animal psychology to really defend this position.

I am also willing to accept that I may just be talking out of my ass. :)
