Chimps:
If we humans possess intelligence, chimpanzees must
have some as well: Our genomes are at least 98 percent
identical. Chimps make and use tools, hunt in organized
groups and engage in acts of violence. Wild troops
have distinct behaviors and customs. Field observa-
tions and lab experiments show chimps are capable
of empathy, altruism and self-awareness.
They are the first smartest animal on the planet.
The intellectual abilities of these chimps has
fascinated humans for long, they can hunt, and
can solve advanced problems. They are able to
learn sign language used to communicate with
humans and can remember the human sign of
an individual for many years. Their amazing
ability is to use symbols for objects and com-
bine them in a sequence to solve a complex
idea. They perform better than the humans in
a number memory test. They can be taught to
use computers to solve numerical problems.
Dolphins:
They are sec-
ond smartest animals
in the world. They are so-
cial animals and they surf, spin,
whirl, race, leap, and whistle in
oceans. They have a sophisticated language
and use tools in natural environment and can learn
an interesting array of behavioral commands. The female
dolphins remain with their young ones and make them learn all the
tricks of dolphin trade. They act as informants to carry the message
during the wars. Their cerebral cortex and frontal lobe are 40% big-
ger
than humans.
Dolphin in Australia uses a sponge to protect her snout when foraging on the
seafloor, a tool use behavior that is passed on from mother to daughter. Scientists
say that’s just one sign of dolphin smarts. Other signs include distinct whistles and
clicks that may serve as dolphin names, perhaps used in a type of language. A fa-
mous 1960s experiment found that a pair of dolphins entered a tizzy of creativity
once
they figured out their novel behaviors were rewarded with fish. Frustrated human
test subjects just let out a sigh of relief when they caught on to the idea.
