Is it normal that I think animals and humans are the same nature ?

I'm having a hard time picturing a scenario in which I'd introduce myself as a human. Haha. Like nice to meet you joe, I'm a human. I think I know what you're getting at and I don't really make that separation. that's a dog, that's a cat, that's a bird, that's a human. We're all species under the umbrella of the animal kingdom. I may be a little strange in that sense though. It's been repeatedly emphasized to me in curriculum that we are animals.
