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 is the octopus capable of solving advance problems, mimicking others, spreading cultural information and finding its way in a maze. Other types pick coconut halves even that were discarded by villagers and carry them and wait for prey by hiding underneath. Two shells usually are used to let them see through between the small opening.
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 also documented recently some dolphins helping fishermen during the fall seasons in a particular place. They heard schools of fish towards the local fishermen wading their nets in the water then they signal to the fishermen that the fishes are near by slapping the water. These actions that are cooperating with humans are described as 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.
