Although most humans do not assocciate
animals with great intelligence, over the past 10 years scientists have proven just how intelligent some animals are.
So I have created a list of the top 5 most intelligent animals from my own knowledge on the subject.
(I have linked my sources at the bottom)A number of whale species are just are social and intelligent as dolphins. But being very large it becomes very difficult task to train whales. At same time the social behavior, communication techniques and imitation power shows by whales make them as one of the most intelligent animals.
Although their famous ability to talk is pure mimicry as most people know parrots have excellent memories and like many others on this list are capable of solving relatively complex problems. They are said to be the most intelligent bird because of there good problem solving skills.
3. ElephantsCompared to other animals, elephants have larger brains. Of course just because your brain is big doesn’t necessarily mean much. What matters is the proportion of body mass to brain mass but even with that said elephants are really, really smart by non human standards. These animals use their brains to create and process complex social interactions and seem to even model things such as empathy.
2. Bottlenose dolphinsWhen it comes to body mass to brain ratio, it is a scientific fact that Bottlenose dolphins have among the largest brains in the animal kingdom. Characterized by their advanced communication skills, they have also been considered to be self aware with the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror and known to call eachother by their own unique names.
1. Great ApesApes are the second most intelligent living organism in the world after humans. According to many scientific theories humans were evolved from the apes family. Apes follow extreme social life and express different types of emotions. The family of apes include chimpanzees, orang-utans, gorillas and bonobos.
