What is the most intelligent animal species on Earth?
Or some other animal species?
Octopi is the plural of octopus in case you didn't know.
Orca and dolphin are both closely related (yes the orca is not a whale), but I want to see which of them people think is more intelligent.

Edited by LahDsai: 5/26/2019 4:40:17 AMActually, octopodes is the "correct" plural form of octopus as it is of Greek origin, not Latin. Only words of Latin orgin, such as cactus and fungus, get the "i" sufix as their plural. That said, octopuses is also considered acceptable. [b] [/b] Also, orcas are the largest species of dolphin.

Edited by Kell of Kellogs: 5/26/2019 1:50:03 AMMy vote is on crows. There’s some pretty cool research done on crows and their ability to problem solve using various tools. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uNHPh8TEAXM Edit: there’s a other video like this one but I was unable to find it. There’s something like 10 steps the crow figures out to do.

Edited by Uncanny_Vale: 5/25/2019 10:47:15 PMLooking into this scientists have actually tried to rank animals according to intelligence. Apparently great apes (like humans, chimps, orangutans and gorillas) are the most intelligent. Followed by monkeys, and then whales and dolphins. [quote]Animal Intelligence Hierarchy focuses on the ladder of preferences of different species of animals created by scientists on the basis of their intelligence or smartness. Animal Intelligence is also referred as Animal Cognition in scientific terms and the study of checking of Animal Intelligence Hierarchy is scientifically referred as Cognitive Ethnology. The Animal Intelligence Hierarchy was obtained by scientists by studying their behavior in extreme ablaze form. The various tests performed to obtain Animal Intelligence Hierarchy structure include like the use of tools, problem solving skills, ability to understand and learn languages, spatial memory usage for various purposes, display of emotions and consciousness etc. Great Apes: In the Animal Intelligence Hierarchy, the Great Apes also known as Hominids occupy the top most ranking in all of the Species of animals. Their intelligence is quietly very similar to that of humans sharing almost more than 98% of the geneticald substance. They after getting some training are able to communicate and express thoughts and showing emotions through sign language.[/quote] https://www.hierarchystructure.com/animal-intelligence-hierarchy/amp/

2 RepliesActually, “octopodes” is technicallybthe correct plural for octopus.

2 RepliesI think the great apes like (chimps, oragutans and gorillas) are generally thought to be the most intelligent animals after us. This is hardly surprising considering they are our closest relatives. Chimps share 99% of our DNA for example. They can learn sign language, solve complex problems, use tools, have complex societies and have higher level of self awareness and consciousness than most animals.

Dolphins.
