Humans are considered as the most intelligent animal living across the world because they possess various abilities. They have the capabilities of doing mental activities other creatures are incapable of but there are some which researchers believe have intelligence more than what was initially thought of. These are observed on apes usually as they are considered the cousins closest to humans.
This detail is based on the DNA found by researchers on them being similar to humans including their behaviors as well. Land animals though are not the ones only with this intelligence as there are intelligent sea life also that scientists are observing. Knowing the extent their capabilities have is harder because their underwater environment cannot always be visited by individuals.
Continuous modern technology development enables the sea creatures to be observed now that were impossible before. They can set up some surveillance devices and cameras to help in recording these creatures and their daily reactions, activities and habits. Others are capable of utilizing tools even like Tusk fishes that crack open the shell using rocks.
Another example are octopus which are capable of finding its way through mazes, solving advanced problems, mimic others and spreading cultural information. Other types even pick coconut halves discarded by villagers that they carry and hide underneath to wait for prey. Two shells are usually used to enable them to see through the small opening between.
Another example of sea creatures having intelligence are dolphins where they are seen with sponges worn on their noses while catching fishes at rocky areas. Doing so protects their nose when chasing their prey in those rocky environment to prevent it from injuries. Several captive dolphins were painted with markings on a body part they could not see for a test and they were found trying to see it in the mirror.
Researchers have documented recently also some dolphins helping a fishing expedition happening in a certain place during fall seasons. They heard the schools of fish to the local fishermen who had their nets wading in water and they slap the water to signal the fishermen that fishes are coming. These actions described as an advanced social learning.
Killer whales show their intelligence through cooperating to get the prey such as a seal sleeping on the floating ice. That whale which saw it first then calls the others and form a line with their tails facing the seal and they create waves by beating it down and up. These waves wash over that floating ice and send to the water the seal where they could kill it.
Whales are known now also for their elaborate cultural exchange form and communication aside from their usual intelligence. New mating songs are composed by male Humpback whales each year and the popular ones spread to other parts gradually. This cultural exchange of songs happen many times within ten years of observation.
Knowing these intelligent creatures is fascinating particularly when observing them performing these activities. This knowledge may helps people care and understand them better. Preserve them by preserving their habitat.
