People like to attribute the term ‘intelligence’ only to fellow humans, believing that self-awareness, the capacity to communicate with others, solve complex problems and work together to achieve a goal are all uniquely human traits.

Some of these animals can even outperform humans on some tasks! And while we do recognize that each animal has its unique intelligence that we humans can’t grasp, the ability to show their smarts to a different species – humans, is more impressive, don’t you think?
