What moments have you been shocked by the IQ of animals?

To tell the truth, I always thought dogs were smart at first, but when I saw on TV that pigs had higher IQ than dogs, I suddenly … You know, the IQ of dogs is about 25, and that of pigs is 30! In fact, it's not that pigs don't like cleanliness, but to prevent mosquito bites. Now many special forces also use this method in combat ... but the differences between individuals are not small. Border collies have the highest IQ of 40, and some stupid pigs can't even practice 30. Ok, let's talk about their IQ.

Nowadays, animal cognitive scientists do not regard human beings as the peak form of wisdom, nor animals as fur-covered silent human beings, but fundamentally view the world as an intelligent species.

From primates and mammals around us to birds and insects, all these animals have a certain degree of IQ. In order to survive, they all need to solve the problems they encounter in life. Pursuing how they solve these problems may provide smarter answers for solving human problems.

Zhang Jinguo, deputy director of Beijing Zoo, believes that the intelligence level of animals can be judged from the aspects of thinking, memory, behavior and imitation.

Chimpanzees perform even better in memory. Someone did an experiment. Ten Arabic numerals from 1 to 10 are displayed on the touch screen. Click in sequence, which number is pressed, which number disappears on the screen.

The experimenter first demonstrated that chimpanzees can watch it several times, and then let them learn to click on the numbers on the touch screen. After they learned it, the experimenter randomly shuffled the numbers on the screen and asked them to click on them in order.

After many trainings, chimpanzees mastered the operation skillfully. Next, let people compete with chimpanzees to see who is faster. Both parties start clicking on the numbers on the touch screen at the same time. From 1 to 10, it is found that the speed of human clicking is not as fast as that of chimpanzees.

The intelligence of animals can be developed.

Zhang Beijing Zoo Project Leader:

When it comes to animal intelligence, primates are the strongest, such as hearing, color discrimination and so on. Many foreign zoos have studied it. In recent years, Beijing Zoo has also begun a preliminary study, taking the development of animal intelligence as one of the important contents of enrichment.

For example, set up a complex feeder in the chimpanzee house. Also, don't think that birds have low intelligence. We made a special bird feeder. We put the food in a plastic tube with a 2 mm opening at the lower part of the tube. The pipe is upright and the opening is below.

Birds will go to feed. They found that if they ate a little, the food would leak a little. In just a few minutes, most birds will find this rule.

In the development of animal intelligence, it is mainly divided into several aspects: first, feeding selection, that is, setting different feeding devices with different complexity for different animals. There are tubular, multilayer, embedded and bionic; The second is behavior training, which trains the behavior of animals and realizes the anesthesia-free physical examination and transportation of wild animals.
