It's hard to put them in a definitive order because scientists have observed certain species more than others but multiple sources list these animals in the top 10:

-Chimpanzees/Orangutans and essentially any other big ape (known to be self-aware)

-Dolphins (known to be self-aware)

-Elephants (known to be self-aware)

-Pigs

-Octopi (Octopus)

-Rats

-Crows

-Cats

-Dogs

-Horses

Other animals that are considered intelligent but vary from source to source:

-Owls

-Falcons

-Whales

-Raccoons

-Parrots

-Squirrels

-Pigeons

*Self-aware in this case is described as an animal's ability to pass the mirror-test. The mirror-test entails: marking the skin of a sedated or sleeping animal somewhere on their body that is not directly visible but can be seen in a mirror, then allowing the animal to see itself in the mirror. If the animal reacts by spontaneously grooming that area (aka notices the mark) it recognizes itself in the mirror and is said to be self-aware.

Which animal has the least intelligence?

The question is worded in a way that does not make much sense. There are, in fact, animals with NO intelligence. For example, a sponge is technically an animal, although they completely lack brains, and nerves for that matter. A more reasonable question might be "which vertebrate has the least intelligence," because all vertebrates have a measurable intelligence. You can't really figure out how much an insect can learn on its own.


What is the most smatest animal in the world?

The smartest animal in the world is often considered to be the human being. However, in the animal kingdom, some animals like dolphins, chimpanzees, and elephants are known for their high intelligence and problem-solving abilities. Different animals excel in various aspects of intelligence, so it's challenging to determine a single "smartest" animal overall.


Which primate is more intelligent pygmy chimp orangutang bonobo or baboon?

Pigmy Chimpanzee and bonobo are of equal intelligence because they are two names for one animal. Intelligence can be measured many ways. All animals are intelligence enough for their environment. Bonobo intelligence matches humans the closest of all animals but are not violent as humans are. Orangutans are closer to human intelligence than a baboon but are not violent as humans are.
