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 development for modern technology enables the observation of these sea creatures which were impossible before. They could set some cameras and surveillance devices up to help record the daily habits, reactions and activities of creatures like these. Others are capable even of using tools like those Tusk fishes using rocks in cracking the shell open.
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.
Dolphins are another sea creatures considered to have intelligence and are known to wear sponges on their nose when catching fishes in rocks. Doing this helps protect their nose against the rocks when searching and chasing their prey in that environment. Some captive dolphins were tested by painting marks somewhere they cannot see and the animals tried to see the markings in the mirror just like humans do.
Researchers have recently documented some dolphins helping also a fishing expedition occurring in a particular place during the seasons of falls. The schools of fish are heard by them towards local fishermen with their wading nets in water and the water is slapped to signal fishermen that the fishes are nearby. These actions are described their advance social learning when cooperating with humans.
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 other creatures are intelligent too is fascinating specially while observing them do these. This information may help people understand and care for them better. Preserve their environment to preserve them as well.
