[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4516767, member: 19675"] Besides great apes, cetaceans and cephalopods, there are other species that are having their intelligence re-evaluated. (I don't recall, however, how many species have posted interesting results when given the mirror test.) There is growing evidence of the intelligence of pigs and horses, and some dogs are considered to be as smart as young humans. African Grey Parrots are also noted for being particularly smart...especially the one in[I] It Waits[/I]. [I]That [/I]bird was smarter than any of the humans in the film, and had the best line- "Uh Oh!" whenever the monster was nearby. Despite having a mobile, intelligent "monster detector" around, the humans kept trying to [I]set it free so it could get away and save itself[/I]... Remind me how we've risen to dominate the planet again? [/QUOTE]
