Squirrel:
These are the seventh smartest animals on the planet. They use an impressive array of tricks
and strategies to survive. They store and cache food for leaner times and then finds their hidden morsels
many months later. They pretend to hide food to confuse potential thieves, this quality shows their
advance level of cunning and intellect. They can interpret intentions of others very easily.
Re-
searchers recently reported that the rodents put on elaborate shows of
deceptive caching to thwart would-be thieves. The behavior increased
in a lab experiment after squirrels observed humans stealing their
peanuts. The researchers called the finding a sign that squirrels can
interpret intentions of others, though it could just be a case of
learned behavior. Other studies have shown the critters
make three-dimensional maps to recall where
they cache their nuts. And squirrels in
California will cover their fur in
the scent of rattlesnakes to
mask their own scent
from preda-
tors.
Pigeon:
These are the eighth smartest
animals that are abundant in cities. They
are quite smart and can remember hundreds
of images even after several years have passed.
They identify themselves in mirrors and can spot
differences between two objects. They can be
trained and have wealth of knowledge. They
were used in olden days in India to deliver
mail.
Pigeons are abundant in most major cities of
North America, but many people think of
them as mere pests. Because pigeons have
been the subjects of countless scientific
experiments, there is a wealth of knowledge
about their intellectual abilities
