Two things Ive almost always thought the opposite, not that the animals are unaware, but that there are many levels of comprehension, and they are probably partially species related. The octopus probably has better spacial awareness than say a herd animal, because a herd animal responds to the herd's reaction hell it doesn't just respond it does exactly as the herd does
But generally, I'd think animals are hyperaware of thier surroundings much more than humans, just watching that healthy coyote running around Central Park, animals are infinitely more adaptable to thier surroundings.
But does that cross into deep-level thought and intelligence, chimpanzees are much better at memorization and quick accurate recall than humans but it doesn't mean they ponder the what if questions
