3. RATS Perceived as carriers of disease, rats have earned a bad reputation i almost killed one yesterday self, but they are highly intelligent creatures. Pet rats ( definitely not here in africa) can be trained just like dogs and can learn how to fetch or roll over. Their ability to solve problems has also been documented by numerous scientific studies, such as those in which rats found their way through mazes with the reward of food. However, certain rats are better at solving mazes than others, implying that there is a range of intelligence among the rodents. 4 Likes

4. PIGS The real hustlers i would say,Pigs may be the smartest domestic animals in the world. Researchers have found that domestic pigs can use mirrors to find their food and will try to deceive other pigs so that they can "hog" more food. Pigs also learn quickly and can do tricks ranging from jumping through hoops to playing video games with joysticks. 2 Likes

5. THE BONOBOS The bonobo is a close cousin to the common chimpanzee, another famously intelligent animal. Extremely endangered, the bonobo is found only in central Africa. Like other great apes, bonobos can learn how to use sign language and symbols. After researchers taught a bonobo named Kanzi how to communicate with lexigrams on a keyboard, the ape taught himself some basic sign language just by watching videos of Koko the Gorilla. Furthermore, Kanzi can cook his own food and even outperformed a human toddler during a study of cognitive ability when he was only eight years old, You heard it right. 2 Likes

6. DUCKS Ducklings are known to imprint on their mothers, but how much does this reveal about their cognitive abilities? To find out, scientists at the University of Oxford studied how the ducklings managed to differentiate between imprinted beings and non-imprinted. They put ducklings in an enclosure and trailed two different pairs of objects around on strings, one pair of matching shapes (like two spheres) and one pair of non-matching shapes (like a cylinder and a cube). After the ducklings showed a tendency towards one of the sets, the researchers put the ducklings in a different enclosure with different matching and non-matching pairs. The ducklings would follow after whichever set best resembled their original imprint. So, if they followed the two spheres in the first enclosure, they would follow a set of matching cubes in the second enclosure. The researchers explained that this tendency has only been seen in primates, crows, and parrots before, indicating that ducks may be smarter than originally thought 2 Likes

7. THE ELEPHANT they are heavy, fat, massive and....they are extremely clever. of course we are talking about the elephants, you see elephants have a reputation for smarts. They have been observed using tools such as sticks to pick at ticks and palm fronds to swat at flies. They also have an excellent memory, hence the saying "elephants never forget." Elephants can recognize members of their herd even after being separated from them for years and can remember the locations of old water sources if their current home experiences a drought. However, their intelligence may sometimes put them at odds with their human neighbors. As the Nature Institute points out, some farmers equip elephants with wooden bells to alert them if the animals have entered their banana groves, but young elephants have been observed stuffing their bells with mud so that the clappers cannot ring, allowing them to eat entire banana trees unnoticed, imagine that sort of smarts! 4 Likes

8. COWS am a bit confused myself lemme check .......confirmed!, its a cow that takes our number 8 spot but maybe not our Nigeria cows. Cows may seem like placid animals merely concerned with chewing their cud, but as it turns out, they possess a rich and complex emotional life. They experience emotions like fear and anxiety and also have excellent memories. Cows even develop their own social circles, becoming friends with the cows that treated them nicely and avoiding those that didn't. One scientific study also revealed that when cows were rewarded for improving at a task, they were more excited than when they were given a treat regardless, indicating that cows are aware of their own learning improvement. 2 Likes 1 Share

9. BEES Yes they produce honey and they sting as hell but Bees exhibit what experts call classic swarm intelligence. A single bee may not be smart in the classical sense, but a hive of bees can and have proven to be. If a group of bees needs to find a new nest, they work together to collect information and share their findings, ultimately voting on which location would best serve as their new home and when they disagree? It turns out that they can hold a democratic "dance-off" to make a hive decision. its all jams and no war for these guys, imagine a world where we just have to dance to settle our differences , amazing huh? 1 Like

in the near future, animals would take over the earth and rule the world and for some of us especially the poachers they will be locked in zoo and fed only once in a day.......am just joking guys but let's talk about the smartest animals , those special animals who are actually smart and would give any prey or predator a good fight. 10. THE SQUIRREL they are fast,annoying and cute and also can be used for any variety of soup you can think of but more than that anyone who has ever seen a squirrel dart across a crowded street or road has wondered if it is aware of the danger. It turns out a squirrel may be but if there is food on the opposite end of the street, it may not matter. Squirrels are fast learners according to a study from the University of Exeter, and they learn from their peers, especially when stealing food is involved. Furthermore, while squirrels are known to bury food in the fall in preparation for winter, they will sometimes only pretend to bury it to trick on looking animals, preventing them from identifying the real location of their food supply, the real trickster if i should say.

2 THE DRIVER ANTS Driver ant has the largest colony than any other insects in the world. Each colony of driver ants has members up to 22 million. Even elephants would run away from the group attack of driver ants. They try to finish off any animal that comes across their path as fast as possible. Driver ants typically kill thousands of different animals within a single raid. They make repetitive wounds on animals and humans using their strong mandibles. Driver ants also raid nests of other insects for food and kill them as well. 2 Likes 1 Share

4 THE TSE TSE FLY yes they are known for the sleeping sickness but what you may not have expected is our pick for number 4,dubbed the deadliest biting insect native to Africa. They mainly feed on the blood of vertebrates. The extreme dangerous insects inject potent toxin on each string. It is estimated that about half a million people lost their life by the attack of tsetse flies in Africa. At the primary stage, the venom of tsetse flies would make sleeping sickness on the victim. But it may lead to fatality without proper treatment. sleeping beauty might actually need a doctor not a prince charming. 1 Like 1 Share

6 THE KISSING BUG There is nothing romantic or sexy about this insect so names definitely can be deceiving because the kissing bug grows up by sucking the blood of vertebrates. Kissing bugs named after their habit of biting the lip of humans while they sleep. They also transmit parasite called as Trypanosoma cruzi. The kissing bug disease or ‘changas’ kills 12000 people every year the figure might be small but please watch who you are kissing next time you never can tell.

8 THE FLEAS i know we have been expecting these guys, yes they are annoying and terribly dreadful especially for our women, Fleas are external parasites that suck blood from humans, birds, reptiles and wild and domestic animals. The fleas could cause itching spots on the skin of hosts. Fleas only have a size of the tip of a pen and reproduce very quickly. Every female flea lay 2000 eggs within their life span now imagine about.........you get the point. There are 2000 known species of flies in the world. Young fleas can consume the volume of blood that is over 15 times their body weight. The flea bites on human body result in red bumps which are itchy and sometimes infectious.

9 THE HUMAN BOT FLY The larvae of botflies are known internal parasites of mammals including you and I and just so you know the dangerous larvae also live beneath human’s skin and cause horrible effects. The human bot flies mostly found across Central and South America. ‘Myiasis’ known parasite infestation makes severe changes in skin tissues,horrible changes so to add , you may have seen this in little dogs after birth. The young female bot flies laid eggs within the skin of mammals. The larvae penetrate through skin and lives in sub dermal zones of human skin for more than 60 days. The patients could feel the movement of larvae beneath their skin. Once larvae development gets complete, it leaves out of the body without saying thanks , talk about been painfully rude literally.

I personally thought a cyber cafe would be great because of course i have worked in one and i knew how the profit were but a gaming business is one i am not so sure of it because i have not heard alot about it in terms of profit. from our conversation so far i think he would prefer a gaming business and from his plans he is working on a big gaming business here, i mean the design i pulled up for him shows alot ,he is thinking big and ready to spend a lot , he is even thinking of internet gaming as well, he says the store is in a very good strategic place as well so i decided to bring this up here. which is better? thanks for your input. |
