I'm not trying to disaprove anything, but I'd like to take a stab at how animals can tell time. Based on my own observations, people can estimate the current time by unconsciously calculating the speed and topics of their own comtemplation. If you spent roughly 5 minutes thinking about ice cream then progressed into comtemplating banana splits, then you can estimate that roughly 10 minutes have passed. I assume animals can estimate the time the same way.
