Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People is a bonus EP of five new songs written by Primus to specifically to accompany a career-spanning retrospective DVD. The title was inspired by a crayon-made story book written by guitarist Larry LaLonde's son.
This bonus EP features five new songs written and recorded specifically for this release. When promoting the release, bassist Les Claypool remarked that "It seems of late that bands are adding supplemental DVD material to their album releases to promote record sales. We've done the opposite. We've added a supplemental audio recording of brand new music to an extremely comprehensive DVD of classic visuals."
