I feel the level of angry is depends on the maturity level. Most of the people are responding based on the emotions (say in simple non fulfillment of expectations makes them angry)
But the emotions plays here and makes the human to be angry. Basically if a human start thinking and responding for the feelings, then the solution will be appropriate and he wont exagratte like angry....
So the gap of accepting the things with emotions instead of feeling is angry....
As animals wont able to segreatate feelings with emotions,people may call it as animal thing....but its require a maturity level to discrminate between reaction of emotions and feelings for any sought of failures.

Anger is a normal tendency of human beings. It is not an animal instinct but a manifestation of being a human subject to different emotions. Anger is an emotion and no human being is exempted from that. However it is a different thing when one gets out of control when he gets angry. We can always get angry without sinning but most people sin when they get angry. How then can we sin not even when angry. When we're angry, we should control it, immediately dealing with the source. We should deal with the reason or face the real issues why we get angry and avoid doing violent things in return but try to find solutions to correct what is wrong. We just have to control our anger, rather than letting it control us.
As to me I always remember these Bible passages in order for me to control my anger:
"Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Eph. 4:26).
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding- (Proverbs 17:28)
