9. Pigs


According to some experts, pigs are among the
smartest, cleanest domestic animals around –
more so than cats and dogs. (The reason pigs roll
around in mud isn't because they like to be dirty,
but because they don't have sweat glands and
the mud helps them cool off.)


Researchers who have studied pigs have learned
they have excellent long-term memories, solve
mazes easily, can comprehend a simple symbolic
language, love to play and play-fight with each
other, can learn to operate a joystick to move an
on-screen cursor, and use a mirror to find hidden
food.

8. Pigeons


Studies show that pigeons are able to learn
abstract mathematical rules, and in fact are the
only non-humans other than rhesus monkeys with
the ability. These much-maligned birds also have
the ability to make extremely intelligent choices,
and have highly evolved pigeon problem-solving
skills .


Pigeons are also able to recognize individual
people, most likely by their facial characteristics.

7. Dogs


When it comes to canine companions, "smart"
means different things to different people. Some
people feel an obedient dog is smart, while others
believe a dog with a mind of her own is more
intelligent. Very agreeable dogs are considered
smart by most human standards.


Humans judge the intelligence of dogs based
primarily on how quickly they learn to obey our
commands, how well they perform, and whether
they are able to learn human-type stuff like
identifying objects.


Because dogs have lived among humans for so
long and undergone so much domestication,
some scientists believe they're more like humans
than even chimps – and could serve as a model
for understanding human social behavior.

6. Crows


A crow's brain is about the size of a human
thumb, which is huge relative to its body size.
This puts their intelligence on a level with
primates, and gives them the ability to solve
complex problems.


Scientists have discovered that crows recognize
and remember individual human faces. Different
areas of a crow's brain light up when it sees a
person it perceives as friendly or threatening.
An 8-year-old girl in Seattle, Washington and her
mom feed crows that visit their backyard. In
return, the crows bring them gifts. The little girl
has a carefully catalogued collection of over 70
trinkets her crow friends have left for her on her
bird feeder, including earrings and a "best friend"
charm.

5. Rats


The ability to think about thinking is called
metacognition, and a few years ago scientists
discovered that rats, like humans, can make
decisions based on what they do or do not know.


Studies also show that rats are surprisingly self-
aware, they're ticklish, and they dream just as we
do. Pet rats are extremely social and form strong
bonds with their owners. They learn their names
and come when they're called, and they beg for
time out of their cage to play and interact with
their owners.

4. African Grey Parrots


Known as the Einsteins of the parrot world,
African Greys are highly intelligent. Studies have
shown that the birds possess abstract, inferential
reasoning abilities. They appear to have some
understanding of causality and use it to reason
about the world. African Greys also show their
smarts with their counting abilities and
vocalization skills.


According to the Lafeber Company:
"Most bird keepers believe that only an
experienced bird enthusiast should keep a grey.

They are complex parrots, highly sensitive, and
more than a little demanding. They are also
charming and brilliant, but this match of
sensitivity and brains can lead to behavioral
issues. They are creatures of habit, and even a
small change in routine can make a sensitive
grey unhappy."

3. Elephants


Elephants' brains are bigger than the brains of any
other land animal, and the cortex has as many
neurons as a human brain. The ability of
elephants to learn is impressive, and they are also
self-aware – they can actually recognize
themselves in mirrors!


In the wild, these highly social animals
demonstrate helpfulness, compassion, and
empathy. Their trunks and feet generate seismic
activity that allows them to communicate with
one another on a wide variety of subjects.
Elephants are likely the only large land-dwelling
mammals that communicate using seismic
signals.

2. Bottlenose Dolphins


Bottlenose dolphins are one of just a handful of
species in the animal kingdom that are able to
use vocal learning to develop their own vocal
signature. Early in life, each dolphin creates its
own unique vocal whistle that gives it an
individual identity. Because each whistle is unique,
dolphins are able to call to each other by
mimicking the whistle of a dolphin they want to
communicate with. It's the equivalent of calling
each other by name.


Many dolphins establish strong social
attachments and will stay with injured or ill
members of the group, helping them to the
surface of the water so they can breathe if
necessary. There are also reports of dolphins
protecting human swimmers from sharks by
swimming in circles around them, or rushing the
sharks to shoo them away.


Dolphins have also been known to team up with
humans to catch fish. They drive fish toward
shore, where fishermen wait to cast their nets.
The dolphins signal the fishermen when it's time
to cast their nets, then they snatch up the fish
that don't make it into the nets.

In case you hadn't heard, humans aren't the only
intelligent beings on planet Earth. In fact, we have
plenty of company, and you may be surprised to learn
who else is on the list.


10 of the Most Intelligent Animals on Earth


1. Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar,
sharing about 99 percent of our DNA. Chimps are
our closest living relatives, and like humans, live
in social communities and can adapt to different
environments. They can also learn sign language.


Chimpanzees can walk upright on two legs if they
choose, and while they are primarily vegetarians
they consume meat (as well as eggs and insects)
on occasion.


Chimps make and use tools, such as stones to
open nuts and leaves to soak up drinking water.
They reach reproductive age at around the same
time humans do – 13 for females and 16 for
males.

The continental superpower Japan was denied a 5th Asian Cup title on Friday after Qatar showed mettle amid a hostile crowd to clinch their first ever Asia Cup at Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

Given the previous head-to-head records, Samurai Blues clearly had an upper hand. Both the teams have locked horns with each other on four previous occasions with Japan winning two and the other two ending in a draw. However, the Japanese dominance was put to a halt after Qatar’s Al Haydos, Abdelaziz Hatim and at last Akram Afif fired to place their side at 3-1 against the solo netter of Minamino.

When the game kicked off, Japan enjoyed possession for a good 10 minutes but couldn’t convert. They paid the price after Haydos bickle kicked into the net. with Qatar consolidating its lead with Abdelaziz Hatim’s stunner.

At half-time Qatar proved themselves to be lethal, attacking and overpowering the Samurai Blues defenders. Their attackers made most out of Japan’s mistakes rattling the defence and creating confusion among the ranks.

In the 56th minute, Qatar again came close to making it 3-0 and again it was Afif who created the chance finding Hatem with space only a few metres from goal but he scuffed his shot over the bar as he turned.

Finally, the Japan attackers succeeded when the ball found it’s way through to Osako who gave Takumi Minamino the chance to slide through the defensive line and chip a shot over Al Sheeb making it 1-2. However, in the last few minutes, Qatar came back again sealed the deal with a penalty after the ball hit the arm of Yoshida. Afif stepped up and made no mistake closing the game at 1-3.

Qatar has stunned four-time champions Japan 3-1
in the final of the AFC Asian Cup held in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) to lift its maiden title
at the continental tournament.


Striker Almoez Ali opened the scoring for the
Maroons on Friday in the Emirati capital, Abu
Dhabi, with a spectacular overhead kick - his
record ninth goal of the tournament.


Ali's 12th minute strike took him past Ali Daei's
1996 tally, and combined with a 27th minute
strike from Abdulaziz Hatem and a late Akram
Afif penalty, helped the Qataris make an emphatic
statement ahead of their hosting of the 2022 World
Cup.


The Sudan-born 22-year-old Ali's record goal
came after a protest by the host United Emirates
FA into his eligibility to represent Qatar was
dismissed by the Asian Football Confederation
only a few hours before kickoff.

I will rather be here roaming about, than to be in one useless political rally.

I taught there will be a CAF champions league match between lobi stars and wydad tomorrow in Enugu.

olujastro:
Thank you my brother.
Lagos has seen steady progress and transformation in the last 20yrs under APC. We know how Lagos used to be way back, and they're busy comparing it with failed Kwara under Saraki.

A lot of people don't know that the developmental progress of ACN in Lagos led more Nigerians to give the party a chance in other SW states and eventually, Nigeria.

As Edo people tasted ACN and vowed never to return to share the money party, PDP; I pray Delta, Bayelsa, Abia, etc. will have the Edo experience.

it was ACN then, don't give credits to APC

FoolishBoy419:
I may be high, but not as high (intoxicated) as your god that cant even kill a fly but wants me to respect him.

1) Show me where your story book encourages alcohol.

2) Islam practises child marriage while more christians simply r@pe the children. You can start observing from the news from now on

3) Everyday we hear about how christians set petty thieves on fire and watch them burn to death (while hypocritically worshipping politicians). Its your people that remove eyes, intestines, brains, etc. Those things dont happen among muslims.

That is not to say islam doesnt have it's shortcomings but i would pick it over that useless religion any time any day

1 Timothy 5:23 and I quote "stop drinking only water, and use a LITTLE wine because of your stomach and your frequent illness". Ephesians 5:18 - "do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, instead, be filled with the spirit". proverbs 20:1 "wine is a mocker and bear is a brawler, who ever is led astray by them, is no wise".
their are more and more verses u wish to read from. so stop saying b4 u end up been a FOOLISH BOY.
for ur no 2, how are u sure majority of those people practice Christianity. ur no 3 explanation shows how dumb and blind u are.

FoolishBoy419:
See the way christians are flooding into this thread like animals to come here and insult instrad of giving valid reasons. On a personal level i prefer my muslim friends much more than their Christian counterparts because they are the most hypocritical people in the world. On romance section they will boldly telk you how they were sleeping around with women yet they see others as evil.

Look at the way they are treating homosexuals yet they tag muslims as intolerant. If you go to the south the average 16 year old is already sexually active yet they claim righteousness. Their holybook is against alcohol yet they complain when muslims destroy alcohol. They accuse northerners of child marriage amd pedophilia yet their pastors, gramdfathers, etc are caught defiling 3 year olds every week. They call others violent and uncivilized yet they are the ones that easily burn people alive, engage in occultism and steal people's pants every week. Majority of Nigerian christians share the same mentality with baboons. If i had to pic a religion, as an ex christian atheist, i would rather pic Islam.

dis guy is truly high, the tramadol u av been taken all dis while has started to manifest in ur life.
no 1, who told u the BIBLE is against alcohol. no 2, between Islam and Christian, who religion practice child marriage the most. I don see say ur brain din mix with petrol. OK no 3, between xtian and Muslim who are more uncivilize? we all know how Muslims in the middle east kill another because he or she committed formication, we all know how they cut off hands because of stealing. which religion does that if not Islam. mtcheew

welcome to Nigeria where a child from a Christian home will be told to start wearing hijab just to enroll in a Muslim school.
