[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6256025, member: 19675"] Right, that's the standard view. But it's not incompatible with the predator/prey theory. The person making the assertion about intelligence in predator species versus prey species isn't claiming that it is the determinative factor, but one of several.* In a way, it dovetails- the claim is that predators interact with their environment in a more complex way than do prey species. Part of that is virtually requiring binocular vision in order to actually be able to judge distances and catch moving prey. There would be exceptions, of course, and exhibit one would be pachyderms. No one questions their status as ranking among the more intelligent creatures on the planet, and they're clearly herbivores. And like parrots, they have very complex interactions with their vast territories. * in marketing, the number one factor correlating with success in any given market is being first into that market. It isn't the ONLY factor, but it is the strongest one. [/QUOTE]
