Of all animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the smartest?

There are several ways of 1 the intelligence of animals. In one tesst a scientist sets three identical cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food 2 one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No 3 is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.

This is called a delayed-response test. The idea is to 4 how long an animal’s memory can retain information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees() and elephants have the best memory, and are able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is 5 . dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.

To settle the matter, the scientists devised a gigantic maze, and ran the chimps and elephants 6 it. The maze was very complicated, with many blind alleys and 7 ends. It took the chimps ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed a half hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, he test indicates that chimpanzees are the smartest animals.

From this and other tests, the scientists 8 the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion to the size of its 9 . the elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds…this is only 1/600 of its 6,000 pound body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120 of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has

four times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for 10 body. The chimp is the champ.

It is estimated that in the last two thousand years the world has lost more than a hundred species of animals. A similar number of similar number of species of birds have also become extinct.
