Top 10 smartest animals on the planet

Animals are quite intelligent, and although their brains cannot be compared to humans, they are actually capable of doing many things perfectly. Below is a list of the 10 most intelligent animals in the world.

1. Chimpanzee

Topping the list of most intelligent animals is a large ape: the chimpanzee. Their impressive intellectual abilities have long attracted human interest.

They are capable of making and using tools, hunting in packs, and are capable of solving a number of complex problems. They can also learn sign language to communicate with humans and based on that, they can remember people's names even after many years have passed without meeting them.

But perhaps chimpanzees' most amazing ability is to use symbols for objects and to combine symbols in order to convey a complex idea.

2. Dolphin

Have you ever wondered why dolphins and whales are such star attractions in most aquariums? That's because they are smarter than most other creatures on the planet.

Dolphins are social animals. People have observed them surfing, racing, spinning, whistling... They have a complex "language", which humans are now beginning to elucidate. Dolphins can use tools in the wild and can learn a series of behaviors at the request of humans.

Like many other intelligent animals, female dolphins stay with their young for many years and teach them survival tricks.

3. Gorilla

Great apes are said to be the most intelligent animals after humans. Of course, humans are biased on this matter, but the intellectual capacity of great apes is hard to deny.

Among them, orangutans are animals with outstanding brains. They have a whole culture and a system of communication. They are even capable of using tools in nature.

Orangutans live in scattered groups and form strong social bonds. That could be the key to raising their awareness. Additionally, female orangutans stay with their babies for many years and teach them all the things they need to survive in the forest.

4. Elephants

Not only do they have big ears, the ability to knock down giant blocks of wood, and a good memory, in fact, elephants are quite elegant and cultured animals. They can clean food and use tools in the wild in many ways.

They can also follow human commands in captivity. Elephants are very caring towards their family members and even other animals.

5. Crow

People call the bird that crosses the street regardless of traffic "walking jays". But jays and other members of the crow family understand better than humans the importance of waiting for traffic lights.

Urban crows often collect tree nuts and then place these nuts on the road so that cars can break down the seed coats. They then wait patiently as the traffic lights change and return to the road to retrieve their delicious treat - an impressive example of animal creativity.

Crows can also communicate with local people, play games with them and even play tricks. Some scientists believe that crows are more intelligent than primates.

6. Pig

Although known as a greedy and "dirty" animal, pigs are actually a very intelligent animal. Both wild boars and domestic pigs have the ability to adapt to many different ecological conditions. At least, they are as easy to train as cats and dogs.

In America, pigs are very popular pets and moreover, they are very malleable. Unlike most ungulates that only eat grass, pigs are omnivores. Their diet sometimes also includes worms and small vertebrates.

7. Squirrel

The squirrel's stubbornness and perfect memory make it the enemy of gardeners. Almost all squirrels have impressive tricks and strategies that help them survive.

First, this intelligent animal has adapted to life alongside humans, eating poultry food, flowers in the garden and any food left lying around. They can also store food to eat gradually over many months.

Researchers say that they have the ability to hide food skillfully and sophisticatedly like a "potential" thief.

8. Dove

Most major North American cities have an abundance of pigeons, but many people simply view them as “troublemakers.” However, pigeons are very intelligent birds, so they have become the subject of countless scientific experiments.

For example, pigeons can recognize hundreds of images seen many years ago. They can also identify themselves in the mirror, and they have been taught to perform a series of activities that can subtly differentiate between themselves and their image in the mirror.

9. Octopus

These invertebrates are famous because they have the ability to twist bottle caps. Octopuses are one of the most intelligent creatures living in the ocean.

There are many things that science has not yet discovered about this animal, however, scientists are constantly making new discoveries about the octopus's impressive abilities.

They have remarkable orientation abilities and short-term memory to be able to "crack" the maze game. But why does an animal belonging to the same mollusk class as snails have such amazing abilities and intelligence?

That could be because in addition to the gray matter inherent in mollusks, they also have a combination of strength, agility, and curiosity.

10. Mouse

Coming in 10th place in the ranking is the rat, a very intelligent animal but in Western cultures it is considered "unclean".

In recent extensive research, laboratory mice have found shortcuts, loopholes and escapes from experimental areas designed by the minds of today's leading scientists.
In Chinese culture, rats are especially revered for their ingenuity and resourcefulness. Rats are present on every continent on earth except Antarctica.
