These are the smartest animals: Crows, octopuses, pigs, dogs...

Some animals can fascinate us with their ability to perform tasks. You already know about the intelligence of some, while you might be surprised about others...

Octopuses are one of the smartest animals in the water. Scientists have discovered many interesting facts about these animals. They play, solve problems, move easily through mazes, have short-term memory...

Pigeons, birds that have an excellent memory. I can remember my reflection in the mirror and hundreds of different photos. Also, they can remember the way home from very distant destinations (which is why they are often used as letter carriers).

Pigs are very emotional. They can offend easily and are often bored. They are easy to train and very social. I can also recognize my own name.

Dogs are often said to be man's best friend. They are very social, understand commands, are obedient and very emotional. They recognize human and animal faces that they have just met, and are often jealous. They remember well, especially if someone hurts them.

Parrots are one of the smartest birds - they can understand human speech, imitate it, remember many words, put their sentences together...

Crows can also learn to speak and count, and some even know how to use different materials and tools to catch food (bend wires, join sticks...).

Rats know how to find their way out of very complex mazes, can use their keen senses of smell and hearing to find mines and bombs, and show excitement, loss, stress and grief.

Dolphins are social animals that can find their relatives even if they are miles away. They have their own language that they use to communicate. They solve various tests of scientists and understand the concept of numbers.

Elephants know how to use different objects and things even if you don't teach them how to use them properly. They do this using their intellect and intuition. They know how to clean food, and they also acquire different tools to clean it. They are very playful, but also emotional. They are bound to each other.

Chimpanzees learn quickly, perform cognitive and creative tasks, and have better memories than the vast majority of animals. They are very social and adaptable. They can think ahead, so they use this as a tactic when hunting for food. Unlike them, orangutans can even learn to use planks, hammers and nails to build structures, and know how to use funnels and pipes to direct water where they want it. They are special in their ability to understand why it is done and how it can help them in the wild.
