Smart Animals

Some animals are really smart. Watch the video:


If you think the above animals are smart, you should see the video below!


The video shows some of the really interesting findings about animals.
  • Animals are able to communicate with one another using language (sort of) or some forms of communication rather incomprehensible to humans.
  • They cooperate. Monkeys living in a social group have certain 'ritual' that proof loyalty to their tribe. Hmm ...
  • The first video shows the bird that can plan ahead! If you think this is smart, wait till you see , in the 2nd video, monkeys and birds that display 2nd-order theory of mind! How deceptive. 
  • Animals learn. They also educate their young. The meerkets featured actually scaffold the learning for their young!
  • Animals has memory. You should look at the crow. And ...scanning the crow's brain reveals that it also shows fear.
  • A vain elephant has self-consciousness. It looked at itself on a mirror. 
  • Bonobos like to have fun!
