Top 5 Most Intelligent Animals | BBC Earth

I'm pretty sure humans are the most intelligent animal.

I forreal thought the parrot was Dr. Pepperberg..😂😂.. that's a dope parrot name

I think the n*gger is the most intelligent animal. Maybe after the dolphin.

Human is intelligent animal

For everyone asking qhy bees are on here:

Bees are actually quite intelligent for insects. Their form of communication is extremely complex and they have the ability to adapt to threats. The Asian hornets that invaded the US are an invasive species and were killing scaths of native honey bees. But then, the honey bees adapted to the Asiatic hornets methods and actually created a new strategy to handle them. If a scout hornet was spotted approaching, the native bees would alert the colony by emitting an alarm pheromone, releasing swaths of honey bee drones would swarm the intruder and cover them. They then begin vibrating the same way shown in this video to raise their body temperatures, sometimes causing death asphyxiation or by repeated stings from the bees. This causes the horneg to die as they can't handle the high temperatures but some of drones would survive because they are built to handle higher body temperatures. This was not a taught behavior, it's something they developed on their own in order to protect their colonies. They have also developed other forms of defense against them as well, such as creating defensive barriers to prevent entry into the colonies.

This is a form of intelligence too. Most humans have to be taught things, but only some develop something worthwhile. Not everyone is like Sir Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein. Most people go to school to recycle information developed by others.

nice

I think it's actually cruel to teach a pig to spell "ham".

There is a difference between being smart and instinct 🤦‍♂️ I think bbc needs to get news researchers 😂

This was fascinating, but the 5 smartest animals ? We understand so little about many animals at present, so to put them in order isn't viable.....the queen bee is just well adapted. The more we learn the more interesting our fellow animals become 🙂

you seriously had a pig spelling the word "ham".

This list is flawed. The most intelligent animal is homo sapiens.

I think she has a great personality - Nellie that is.l Look at her tail wagging like crazy ! The children in the school were very sweet and cute.

Dolphins are truly interesting mammals so very smart love em..

The Bird is literally named Dr Pepper. That soda can brand 😆

Animals figure out cooperation = survival.
Humans can't do this simple task. Are we the "dumb animals"

If only people had this kinda , I will say love? For lack of a more scientific term.

Ask any farmer who has raised pigs and they know how smart they are. We went through 6 different types of pens and fencing to keep them in. It's not just pushing out, they figure a way out. Same with the wild boar situation in Texas (overpopulation and ruining land)... No poisons or traps work for long cause they figure out how to beat it.

Keeping Dolphins in captivity should be banned, it's very cruel to keep such an intelligent animal in jail all it's life.

Griffin tops Einstein. I had a parrot and he had a few canned responses for things. But he also knew what what several phases meant. "night night" meant I want to be covered and gp to bed. He did not say it but knew "that's hot" means, well thats hot. Would scream while I was cooking and would not be quiet until I gave him some. Apartment, 2am okay here have some but "thats hot". Only took him once to learn that lesson. I can tell Einstein mimics. Griffin understands.

Dog propagandists left the chat

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!

Come to HIM🙂

Interesting video but sad to see the dolphins. Dolphinaria are vile and effectively illegal in the UK. We have no captive dolphins here on animal cruelty grounds, so a bit shameful of the BBC to go and source some captive dolphins abroad. Plenty of oppotunity to see dolphin behaviour and intelligence in the wild. Interesting how there's lots of comparisions of these animals to the intelligence of human children, but while children have the right to personhood and freedom from slavery, these animals, who are just as smart and self-aware, have no such freedoms and no such dignity granted to them.

Pig is tasked with spelling ham…

I'd be a lousy dolphin trainer. As soon as one pops out of the water, I'd give him/her ALL the fish!

What a bullsh...

I’m expecting for Monkey and dog to be in the list

Luna is doing a great job of training her humans. So long and thanks for all the fish.

The bumblebee segment has nothing to do with intelligence, purely instinct.

I guess the pig in the first installement doesn't know what "ham" is?!

How do you know the dolphin isn't just associating the task with a treat, regardless of what it is? How do you know the dolphin actually picked that treat and didn't just buzz one of the two symbols, knowing it would get something?

they made nellie spell ham 😭😭😭😭 omg whyyy

awesome

I've seen more intelligent animals

Corvids and Orcas should have been on this list.

Getting a pig to spell out HAM is pretty dark.

Where would you recommend to go on a holiday where are you could see elephants obviously after Covid 19

I grew up on a ranch and one day I saw this piglet running around and playing with the other piglets in the litter and she kept dodging them and making them fall over and everytime she did she would jump up, almost for joy. I will say it seems as if animals understand things like us at times.

BBC name always kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I THOUGHT IT WAS A BUDGIE

Imagine if all animals on earth, including humans, were equally as smart as each other and some were just pretending to be dumb, oblivious or completely primitive/instinctual as a defense mechanism... like imagine the cute pig in the beginning was comprehending everything the women were saying and she's like "they really think I'm dumb... well more treats for me."

Even though the pig doesn’t know the meaning of the word ham it’s cruel to make her spell it. Why?? Why not “grass” or “tree” or literally any of the other tens of thousands words there are in the English language.

‘A very specific concept is going on here’

Nelly : blind mfs giving me a rectangle

That parrot is obviously a paid actor

Once the elephants realize they can get the food by breaking the net, I'm sure humanities will face genocide.

I think it's ironic that a big spells ham

My eyes widened like 200 per cent when I saw the word "ham"

yea the pigs first!

clever pig

I am one of those
