There are plenty of species which I believe pass down this sort of knowledge/information through generations .. perhaps right down to encoding it somehow at the DNA level.
Generationally, ravens will somehow know a threat, long after that threat has passed. They've conducted experiments - a researcher will wear a rubber mask (think halloween, but one that is very human .. a caricature of a celebrity etc) and they will walk out into a park etc, and play a deceased raven down on the grass in plain view of the ravens. (no birds were harmed lol). When the researcher ever goes back to that park, the ravens will alarm. They've even cut a hole in the top of the mask and had the researcher wear it upside down, same effect. They've sent him out years later, and generations of ravens later, they will still alarm. The information has been downloaded somehow.
