The seven cleverest animals in nature

Of the seven cleverest animals in nature, monkeys only rank seventh, and the first one can cook with fire!

Among all known creatures, human beings are well-deserved IQ. From the Stone Age to the present intelligent age, human beings are constantly surpassing themselves. Of course, there are also high and low IQs. Those great men who have made outstanding contributions to mankind are undoubtedly outstanding people with high IQ. For example, Einstein, who put forward the theory of relativity, has an IQ of over 250.

In the animal world, the IQ of each animal is also different. So, do you know the ranking of animal IQ in nature? Let's discuss it with you today.

In daily life, we often describe a person as a "monkey spirit". Does this mean that monkeys are essentially responsible for IQ? The answer is no, monkeys can only rank seventh, so what animals are the top six?

Sixth place, dolphin. I believe many friends have doubts that dolphins can rank in front of monkeys. In fact, many zoologists have done 100 experiments on this problem. In the same environment, they teach dolphins and monkeys the same movements, while dolphins demonstrate dozens of times before learning, while monkeys need hundreds of times. This also shows that dolphins are superior to monkeys in both imitation and learning ability.

And dolphins are called "lifeguards at sea". The reason why they have this title is because they are born with life-saving ability. When people accidentally fall into the water, they will take the initiative to push people into shallow water. Therefore, dolphins are also one of the most popular animals.

Fifth place, baboon

Baboons are the largest species in the family Hericidae. Like many animals in nature, they are social animals, and male baboons play a leading role in the group, mainly responsible for the distribution of daily work and the reconciliation of contradictions among members in the group.

Scientists' research shows that baboons have complex abstract reasoning ability, which means that baboons have the ability to analyze problems independently. This ability is not possessed by any animal except apes. Therefore, it can rank fifth in the natural IQ ranking.

Fourth, chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees are a kind of apes, and can be associated with "people", which shows how high their intelligence is. Chimpanzees can make rational use of the surrounding resources to achieve their goals. For example, they can get ants from ant holes with branches. A scientist did an experiment. He put a hungry chimpanzee in a closed room. There are three wooden boxes in the room, and a bunch of bananas are hung in the middle of the room with a rope. Finally, the clever chimpanzee piled up the boxes one by one and finally got the bananas.

It can be seen that chimpanzees have a high IQ.

Two chimpanzees escaped from the secret room.

Third place, orangutan

Orangutans, like chimpanzees, belong to apes. Although their names are similar, the difference is obvious. The hair of orangutans is mostly red, so orangutans are also called orangutans.

In fact, in principle, the IQ of orangutans and chimpanzees is similar, but after a study by a primatologist in the United States, the IQ of orangutans is higher than that of chimpanzees. He gave a data that the average IQ of orangutans is about 10 higher than that of chimpanzees. Experts point out that the intelligence of an animal has a lot to do with the size of its own brain. Perhaps chimpanzees are behind gorillas because they are smaller than gorillas.

Second, spider apes.

Spider apes are also a kind of primates, and their habitats are mostly in South America. Because of its small size and flexibility, many people who want to catch it are very big. There was once a wild zoo abroad that caught a spider ape, but it escaped from the heavily guarded and closely monitored zoo with only one watering pipe.

Even some foreign scholars think that the IQ of spider apes is higher than that of gorillas, but in Bian Xiao's view, among the known creatures, no animal is smarter than gorillas except humans.

First place, gorilla

The IQ of gorillas is recognized, and there is no dispute about being the first throne. According to research, the similarity between gorilla DNA and human is 96%. Moreover, it is reported that a five-year-old gorilla followed a wildlife expert and learned to cook by himself in just a few months, from collecting firewood to lighting, to serving and cooking.

It can be seen that the intelligence of gorillas is the closest to human beings.
