Have you ever thought about how smart our smaller brothers are? Scientists tried to answer this question. They identified the smartest and smartest animals on the planet.
Instructions
Step 1
Surely everyone guessed which animal would come first. Yes, of course, these are monkeys. Among them, the smartest are: gorilla, chimpanzee, baboon and monkey. These mammals can not only provide themselves with shelter and protect their families, but also use tools and communicate with a complex system of facial expressions and gestures. By the way, there is another very interesting fact. It is scientifically proven that children of monkeys are much smarter than human children of the same age.
Step 2
Elephants are also among the top 10 smartest animals on the planet. These animals are capable of a lot. In their behavior, they are even somewhat similar to people. They know how to love, build family ties and even grieve for their brothers who have left them. Moreover, they can even "bury" them. They do this, of course, not as people, but they rightfully take their second place of honor.
Step 3
Dolphins are by far the smartest in the aquatic environment. These cute creatures have earned human trust due to their kindness and docile nature. They are very caring parents and good friends.
Step 4
The abilities of rats still do not cease, and certainly will not cease to amaze. These rodents are quick-witted. They will find a way out of the most difficult situation for people. Even such an experiment was carried out: the rat was placed in a maze, its whiskers were cut off and its eyes were taped. Even in this situation, she was not at a loss and found a way out! These animals are amazing. But what can I say, they can even take revenge on a person. Among them there is a constant natural selection, in which, as you know, the fittest survives.
Step 5
Of course, absolutely not all animals should be compared with humans. For example, among fish, the smartest are cichlids. They very, well, very quickly adapt to all living conditions. And already proceeding from this, they form more and more new species. Yes, so quickly that scientists do not even have time to describe them.
Step 6
Birds also have their own, so to speak, geniuses - these are crows. They are able to analyze and communicate with each other not just by croaking, but by a set of different sounds. By the way, a crow can even be taught a few words and taught to solve simple math problems. Imagine how smart they are!
Step 7
Dogs, of course, are also on this list. They are capable of not only executing all kinds of commands. Not. They feel and understand people very well, especially their master. A dog of any breed can be smart, but still the most geniuses are among the Dobermans, Labradors and German Shepherds.
Step 8
Cockatoo parrots. Everyone knows that they are capable of imitating human speech. Moreover, they even use their vocabulary appropriately. They are also highly trainable. They can be taught all sorts of tricks.
Step 9
Don't think that sheep are stupid animals. On the contrary, they are very smart and cunning. They are even capable of not showing that they are sick. And all this so that the predator does not understand their vulnerability. By the way, sheep also have a very good visual memory.
Step 10
Well, and ends our list with an ant. Of course, they are the smartest creatures among insects. They can lead warriors using a certain strategy, build anthills and even enter into symbiosis - a mutually beneficial relationship between two or more individuals of different species.
Of course, animals cannot be compared with the intellect of a person, but in some ways a person will always be inferior to our smaller brothers. Good luck!
