I've never thought of elephants as particularly intelligent animals, but this one seems to be very clever: http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/2011/09/an-elephants-aha-moment/
So, what other animals are clever? What can they do that makes you think they are clever? I'd love to here your comments so that we can decide what we think is the most intelligent animal in the world?
Get thinking and post your ideas below :-)
Of course elephants are intelligent! Just ask Miss Patel :) I'm not saying she IS an elephant...but she has a super fondness for them.
ReplyDeleteBy far, the most obvious answer in my mind is chimpanzees. Come on! They share 97% of our DNA. Or so I'm told *glares at the Biology department*
I think a parrot is clever because no other animal can talk back to you..well except humans but i just think its amazing!!!

ReplyDeleteInteresting ideas ladies :-)
ReplyDeleteRejoice - a parrot can sometimes use our language to speak to us, but do other animals communicate?
Any ideas girls - how do other animals "talk" to each other?
Yes other animals do communicate but to each other a language that we do not understand Rejoice in 7RWi
ReplyDeleteI don't think parrots actually talk to us, they're just copying us. Dolphins , to me, are the most intelligent animals because they have theyre own language that some scientists are close to understanding. Also they use teamwork very well when they are catching fish, using one dolphin to herd the fish while the others feed. Apparently they do this on a rotar so each dolphin gets to feed.
ReplyDeleteer....humans are the cleverest animals

Chimps and humans are so similar that some scientists are asking for their correct species name to be changed to include 'homo' in it
ReplyDeletehi i am shefaa from 7cra, i actually love animals as well and i think the best way not to argue which one is clever or anything, but every animal is clever and intelligent, because they have brains just like us some of them dont which i feel sorry about them, but once me and my little cousin she is only 6 years old, we went to the zoo, me and my cousin saw a poster like have you seen this snake?, so my cousin got scared and i told her its only a joke and then she was bursting to go to the toilet so she went by herself with telling me, i was looking at the penguins and lions and tigers, then when my cousin when to the toilet she saw a black snake going around the toilet and she stood at the toilet seat watching it not screaming, she nealt down to open it, then suddenly she jumped then the snake poisned her, so she fell down then the snake like stood looking at her eyes then, i was like what is my cousin taking so long??, so i went and found her lying down the floor crying and crying, i screamed my cousins name so the snake turned around and walked straight to me, then i remembered in deadly 60 what you have to do, so i ran to the zookeeper and told him my cousin got poisned so he ran and called the ambualance to take my cousin to hospital and the snake they got it when they got it and in slow motion it was actually looking at me angerly when they got that snake and got him out, it was so scary!, this is a long story.
