It's no secret that each animal has a unique form of intelligence.Of course, the study of mental faculties fauna are still underway, and scientists have yet to make a lot of interesting discoveries.But sometimes it gets interesting - it looks like the smartest animal?Where it lives?What skills have?
In fact, the title of "the most intelligent animal in the world," claim several species.After all, the intellectual abilities of each individual representative is not so easy to evaluate.
In addition, the researchers determined that the most intelligent animal, also need to pay attention to the environment, the way of life, the physiological characteristics of the nervous system.
To begin with I would like to mention the primates.After all, this group of modern taxonomy classifies animals and humans.And some members have a number of remarkable intelligence.The most intelligent monkeys are considered gorillas and chimpanzees.These kinds of well-developed central nervous system.They are able to build relationships with their relatives, have some language abilities.In addition, it is believed that chimpanzees expressed some typically human traits of behavior - for example, they may feel sympathy or joy.Yes, and memory have developed much better than the average person.
Another representative fauna, claims to be the "most intelligent animal" is a dolphin.Yes, these kinds of really smart, but to explore the work of the brain is sometimes difficult because of the environment.Interestingly, the animals never sleep, or rather their sleep is not entirely consistent with the usual explanation of the process of rest.The brain of a dolphin is turned off alternately - when left brain rest, the right to work and vice versa.These creatures are perfectly amenable to training - during hostilities British soldiers with the help of dolphins have made real sabotage.Today, swimming with dolphins is considered to be not only pleasant, but also an effective way to treat certain mental disorders.
Smart find and parrots.After all, everyone knows that some species can talk to copy the voice and intonation, memorize words and even make complete sentences.By the way, the most intelligent parrot in the world - Baggio, who helps his master work.Owner clever parrot - a tailor, and his pet can sew, holding in its beak a needle.
title of "the most intelligent animal" can be attributed to the sheep.Yes, of course, these animals are immensely cowardly than himself and earned a bad name.But scientists say they have developed remarkable intelligence.For example, recent research has helped establish that sheep possess a flawless memory - they remember perfectly seen the faces of people and animals.
Rats - Another group of highly intelligent animals with well-developed acumen.For example, the old rat can bypass any existing mousetraps and not to fall for the bait.More experienced adults can identify poisoned food - they not only refuse such "goodies", but also will protect the young rats.
Elephants - one of the few animals (along with chimpanzees and dolphins), which recognize in the mirror proper mapping.In addition, representatives of the species is well developed memory, so they should not be hurt.A female takes care not only for their young, but also for the male - to a certain extent, this reminds family relationships.
Wolves also considered to be very clever and cunning animal.They can communicate well even at large distances.It is believed that the leader becomes the strongest male.But in some species the female head of the pack - it might not be the most intelligent, but the most quirky.
In any case, each animal has a unique mental characteristics that have yet to be explored.
