Who're the 3 animals most intelligent of the world?

Answer 1

Chimps, dolphins and elephants

Answer 2

According to scientists the order of Intelligence (The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge) is as follows:

Human
Apes and Monkeys
Ocean Mammals (Dolphins and Whales being the most Intelligent)
Flesh Eating Mammals (Cats, Dogs, Bears, Lions, Tigers, and Wolves)
Hoofed Animals (Elephant, Horse, and Pig)
Rodents (Squirrel)
Birds (Raven, Pigeon, and Parrots)
Amphibians and Reptiles
Fish
Animals without Backbones

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Apes, Dolphins, and as of October of 2006, elephants. Presumptly, a high accordance of intelligence is set to animals who can recognize themselves from their reflection of mirrors. No other organisms other than these three and of course humans, are capable of doing this. It's possible though that dinosaurs, especially those that roamed the oceans, lakes, or ponds, also had a high degree of intelligency.

Answer 4

Stephen Hawking
Heinz Wolff
Carol Vorderman

Answer 5

How do you define intelligence? It is suggested that having a sense of self (being able to recognise that you exist as an independant being) is one good way of defining 'intelligence'. A fundamental feature of cognition is the ability to separate self from others, or to recognize oneself as an entity, separate from the environment. This issue of the internal nature of self-representation is difficult to get at experimentally, and really one one approach has been used successfully. This approach uses a mirror and markings.

When your dog or cat walks past a mirror, it may respond to the image in the mirror, but the it does not recognize the image as itself. This can lead to a humorous escalation in play or aggression, depending on the predisposition of your animal. If you put a piece of pet clothing on the dog or cat--a collar, a hat, or a sweater--your pet's perception of the image in the mirror does not change. This clearly differentiates self-awareness in dogs or cats from human self-awareness.

But what about other animals? In chimpanzees, perhaps a few other primates, killer whales, and bottlnose dophins, changing the image in the mirror causes the animal to behave in a way that suggests self-recognition. In chimpanzees, marking the chimp with a spot of paint or dye will cause the chimp to, when viewing the image, touch the marked spot. This suggests that the chimp sees the image in the mirror as itself, and that it can recognize the change in itself by exploring that change. Marine mammals, of course, lack appendages for self-exploration, but at least a few marine mammals show behavioral responses to changed mirror images that suggest self-recognition.

Seyfarth and Cheney (2000) argue that monkeys which fail the mirror test (for example, vervets, baboons, or macaques) still have a sense of "social self" defined by their ability to recognize other members of their social group as individuals, to remember the gender and dominance status of those other animals, and to define their place in the social order accordingly.

Answer 6

According to Douglas Adams, Mice are the most intelligent, then Dolphins, then Us.

Answer 7

Human beings, Orang Utans and Chimpanzees.

Answer 8

Depends on what type of intelligence.

Dolphins, chimps, elephants

Octopus are considered the most intelligent invertebrates.

Answer 9

The actual answer is from smartest first: Humans, Bigfoot, then maybe one of the Chimpanzees such as bonobos

Answer 10

Humans, dolphins and Jeremy Paxman (he's a different species to the rest of us).
