that animals are smarter than humans.

Hi David...Intelligence is a relative term to the species of the animal as ALL animals have the capacity to learn. Two primary factors will influence accuracy in the interpretation of any test for animal intelligence -- an understanding of the animal's natural history and an understanding of the limits of the test. An animal will naturally show an aptitude for a concept it needs or uses regularly in the wild.
As an animal trainer we discover while we are educated that intelligence has very little to do with how trainable an animal is. Yet, as humans, the subject of intelligence continues to fascinate us.
I could go on and on with the scientific aspect and the anthropomorphic aspects which are the biggest reason for the dispute.

Smarter? Not really. But they are more attuned to nature than we are. They can sense hurricanes and earthquakes, whereas we can't without out technology.

if they were, they would be the one posting that question!
I guess in different aspects they may be smarter than, lets say, a mentally challenged person!?!
