Which is the smartest creature on earth?

Answer 1

ape
The ten most intelligent animals are the following:

1. Human
2. Dolphin (many of the approximately eighty species)
3. Chimpanzee (two species)
4. Gorilla
5. Orangutan
6. Baboon (seven species, including drill and mandrill)
7. Gibbon (seven species)
8. Monkey (many species, especially the macaques, the patas, and the Celebes black ape)
9. Smaller-toothed whale (several species, especially killer whale
10. Elephant
11. Pig

Humans are the most intelligent animals, by far.

Dolphins, Great Apes, Elephants, Parrots, and Crows are about tied for second place.

The cleverest animal in the world are humans and other primates.

2nd Answer: Dolphins are pretty smart and it is proven that honey bees are smarter than most dogs.

Bees: dance at the other bees to say what flower has good nectar and

the pattern of the dance and the number of shakes is how many yards away the flower is from the hive.

Other smart animals:

dogs

parrots

chimp: closest animal to humans

This is sort of a stereotypical question. Many animals are smarter than others in different ways. Many people would say humans, but that could be disputed. With proper training, a dog can be smarter than a human. (

Caveat: Jane Goodall is an expert in animal behavior but represents but one expert's opinion.

Besides humans, Jane Goodall has applied her vast experience and research to compile the following list of the top five animals:

1. Great Apes Language once was thought to be limited to people. "All the great apes [in captivity] -- which include chimpanzees, bonobos (pygmy chimpanzees), gorillas and orangutans -- have learned American Sign Language," Goodall says. What's more, each kind of ape has taught ASL to others of their own kind.

"Great apes can use computers," she says. "There's a chimpanzee in Japan who's hooked on her computer like kids are hooked on Video Games. She's learned to solve complex problems. For example, she can replicate a set of numbers on the computer after the screen goes dead. To watch her is amazing. Her mind is clearly working the same way as ours, but actually much, much faster.

"Maybe chimps are a little too much like us; look at them, and we look into a mirror. The reflection isn't always flattering. They live in a society where power is rewarding for its own sake. They also have wars over territory."

2. Whales and Dolphins

Unusual among animals, whales and dolphins use high frequencies to communicate with those they can't see.

It was once assumed that only humans could communicate with others they can't see, but it turns out dolphins and whales (and elephants, too) have their own versions of telephone and e-mail. Whales and dolphins use high frequencies to communicate over long distances. In fact, they seem to have a need to "talk." Goodall says: "We're only starting to understand what it is they're saying to one another. I believe when we ultimately learn what they're talking about, it will be quite revealing."

3. Elephants

Elephants and great apes have painted original works of art, a creative expression of intelligence once thought restricted to humans.

They use very low frequencies to communicate over great distances. "Elephants establish long-term friendships and recognize these individuals years later," Goodall says. "We all know elephants remember." They also have "extraordinary empathy and compassion," she says, explaining how elephants sometimes even "bury" their dead. "When elephants come across a dead companion they recognize, they may outwardly grieve."

4. Parrots

African Gray parrots are known for their large vocabularies.

"I know a parrot in New York called N'kisi (a Congo African Gray parrot) who knows 971 words. He isn't counted as having a new word until he's used it at least five times in a proper context. In other words, if he just repeats a word, that doesn't count. Before I met N'kisi, his owner, Aimee, was showing him pictures of me and chimps. When I walked into the room, he asked, 'Got a chimp?' Aimee broke a necklace, and he said, 'What a pity. You broke your new, nice necklace.' He uses grammar and initiates conversation (all skills once reserved for people). This bird even has a Web site [sheldrake.org/nkisi]. I don't think he's an exceptionally brilliant parrot; I do think we're only starting to understand how smart they are."

5. Dogs & Cats

Dogs first led Goodall to recognize animal intelligence. She finds dogs and cats often are more perceptive than people.

"They're as different as chimps and gorillas, and the age-old question about which are smarter I won't tackle," Goodall says. "Dogs have always been a part of my life and opened my eyes to animal intelligence. The stories of how devoted dogs are to people are legendary, but this is a choice they freely make. Dogs and cats are so perceptive -- much more than people are. They know what their people are thinking; they're always a step ahead of us."

Ben Z'ev: I disagree wolves are definitely smarter than elephants. Rule 1 of animal intelligence: carnivores and omnivores are smarter than herbivores because carnivores and omnivores need to develop tactics to hunt larger herbivores.
1. Humans
2. Dolphins
3. Horse
the most smartiest animal in the world is mokeys,whales,dolphins,horses
It depends on how you define intelligence. Humans are highly encephalized, and thanks to our big brains we have been able to survive in almost all parts of the world. We are primates. Generally the primates have larger brains than would be expected for their body size, and that might make them 'smart'.
You see them everyday and theyre always around you. HUMANS! Humans are the smartest animals on Earth obviously! Otherwise you wouldn't be on a computer right now. Humans are animals too its not like your just some random thing.

the smartest land animal is the chimp but the the smartest animal are orcas and other dolphins.
a monkey
some of the smartest animals are Chimps, Dolphins, Pigs, and I think Horses. Chimps and Monkeys would be the second smartest animals, dolphins following, then pigs.

Answer 2

Intelligence is not easily measurable across different species, but some of the most intelligent creatures on Earth are believed to be dolphins, elephants, and certain species of apes such as chimpanzees and orangutans.

Answer 3

Some might contend that humans are the smartest creatures on Earth, and there is no doubt that humans are quite clever, but there's plenty of evidence to refute their standing as thesmartest. Consider for a moment that even a dog will not void where he sleeps or eats. A human will though. Not too bright.
