Top 10 Most Intelligent Animals in The World 2017

Top 10 Most Intelligent Animals in The World 2017

10. Octopuses

An octopus has the largest brain of any invertebrate, possessing around 130 million neurons within its brain. A human has around 100 billion, but unlike an octopus a human doesn’t possess neurons in their limbs, while around three-fifths of octopus’s neurons are located in its arms. In a manner of speaking, each arm has a mind of its own. Even if the limb is separated from the main body it will continue to function for a while before finally expiring. Another instance of intelligence that octopi are known for is the ever infamous ability to problem-solve, which has been displayed in the past by watching an octopus attempting to remove a fish from within a sealed container. Despite having to remove a cork and then squeeze their arms into the container, the octopus has shown that it can, when needed, figure out how to solve such tricky situations.

9. Pigs

It might be difficult to believe seeing as how pigs do very little most times, but it has actually been seen that pigs are among the smartest and even cleanest domestic animals around. The misconception that pigs are filthy comes mostly from their tendency to roll in the mud. This is not to stay dirty, but instead to cool off. In terms of their intelligence however they have excellent long-term memories, can solve mazes, and are able to comprehend a simple symbolic language. They also find enjoyment in play-fighting and can learn how to operate a joystick on an on-screen cursor. So despite their rather simple appearance they are a bit more than what they seem.

8. Pigeons

Lauded as many derogatory names for their otherwise dubious eating habits and hygiene, pigeons have been noted as being able to learn abstract mathematical rules and are the only creature with this type of ability aside from humans and rhesus monkeys. Despite their low reputation they have been seen to display quite a brilliant level of intellect and have shown highly evolved problem-solving skills. They have also displayed the ability to recognize individuals based on their facial characteristics. For being birds of such ill repute it seems quite interesting that the pigeon should carry such a level of intelligence.

7. Dogs

This list wouldn’t be quite complete without the mention of “man’s best friend”. Yet despite the level of intelligence shown by many breeds, the word “smart” can mean many different things to many different people. While some feel that an obedient dog is smart, others tend to believe that a more independent and obviously thinking dog is far superior. Those dogs that are seen to be agreeable are also considered quite intelligent. Despite the wide spectrum of intelligent behaviors and how quickly some dogs learn commands, what has been determined is that dogs are in some cases mirrors of humanity considering how long they have been domesticated and living among humans. Their behavior often reflects the people they live with, and as such shows that they have the capacity not only for empathy, but for adaptation and evolution as well. Dogs are the one of Top 10 Most Intelligent Animals in The World 2017.

6. Crows

The brain of a crow is close to the size of a human thumb, which is quite disproportionate to the crow’s body. This fact alone puts them almost on the same level of intelligence as primates, and allows them the ability to solve complex problems. Crows can recognize and remember individual human faces, which has been showcased in films such as “The Shawshank Redemption”. They are also smart enough to recognize the need to appease those who they see as friendly, as in the case of one individual a crow that was continually fed began to bring small, shiny trinkets retrieved from various spots. While it can be argued that the crow might have brought one trinket as a fluke, the person eventually logged 70 different items that were brought by the same crow.

5. Rats

4. African Grey Parrots

3. Elephants

2. Bottlenose Dolphins

1. Chimpanzees

Chimps and humans are very similar. Both species show around 99 percent similarity in DNA. Chimpanzees are among the closest living relatives that humans have in the animal kingdom, and like humans are very social and live in well-formed communities that are highly adaptable. They are also very able to learn sign language. If they desire they can walk on two legs. They are primarily vegetarians, but can consumer meat as well, making them omnivores much like humans. They have also been seen to use tools in order to open or otherwise manipulate their surroundings.
