What is the world's smartest animal other than humans?

Answer 1

The chimpanzees are commonly thought to be, but with recent studies on parrots vocal abilities, and crows problem solving the title of 2nd most intelligent animal is up for grabs. Alex a parrot that learned to count speak and English (now decided) is a good example of animal intelligence, and studies done on new Caledonian crows show they are able to solve multistage problems.

Answer 2

Asking a question about intelligence without giving a benchmark always leaves this a subjective answer. In terms of language acquisition, the answer is likely the gorilla or the African Gray Parrot. Dolphins are also considered quite brilliant, but are more difficult to study. Birds such as crows appear to have a sense of play, which is unusual and indicative of intelligence. Gorillas and chimpanzees are also tool-makers, which puts them in a supremely intelligent category.

Dolphins are perhaps one of the smartest. It is difficult to tell exactly how smart an animal is because sometimes they seem smart, but they just learn to respond a certain way. For example, a dog coming when you call it. That doesn't make the dog a genius. Below is a link to a Nova video on YouTube, talking about the intelligence of dolphins. It gets more interesting at the second half, so you might as well skip a few minutes of it. (it's ten minutes long).

Answer 3

This will depend upon what you mean by "smartest". There are certain species of primates that can learn rudimentary human language, such as chimpanzees. Pigs are generally considered very smart, as are dolphins.
