From problem-solving to communication, from understanding emotions to demonstrating cooperation, many behaviors reveal intelligence. While researchers study human intelligence in standardized settings, learning about an animal’s intelligence requires more creativity. Some of the most intelligent animals on the planet do things that require a great deal of brain power but aren’t comparable to human behaviors. Regardless of how they are measured, the world is full of smart, amazing creatures.
