That is quite a generalization. All animals? Some animals?
We have stickers om our windows with silhouettes of birds of prey so birds do not fly into them. Is that not pattern recognition?
Digger wasps find their nesting place back by recognizing key shapes surrounding it, is that not pattern recognition?
For an instant a dog who don't like cats and can't stand looking at them without barking won't do that if he is seeing a painting of a photo of a cat. Nor if they are on TV, unless they are making some noice.
Some animals, like monkies perhaps can recognize patterns. Perhaps some animals, I don't want to go out on deep water and see which can and who doesn't because I don't know everyhting about that. But I know that most animals can't see patterns.
Tests isn't always needed to prove such things. It's impossible for those with not highly evolved brains to see or recognize patterns.
