Nocturnal animals, such as owls, might have slightly anthropomorphical eyes...
People aren't moral and rational because some sort of religion or atheism has automatically put that moral or rational thinking in them; people are moral and rational because they are the image of a loving and wise God.

Quoting Wycliffe's Bible translation:
Here the ant or pissemyre is anthropomorphized.

Rats are often anthropomorphised, particularly - as I think - that we recognise the pestly, filthy, disease-ridden, aggressive and spawning rodents in ourselves, and become so disgusted by that fact that we hate and loathe them with a passion, and clothe themselves in our characteristics so that we can mock them and no longer feel threatened by their horrifyingly humane lifestyle - by turning them into humanoids, so as to - - -People aren't moral and rational because some sort of religion or atheism has automatically put that moral or rational thinking in them; people are moral and rational because they are the image of a loving and wise God.
