While it's hard to definitively say what single animal is a "genius," several animal species exhibit remarkable intelligence.
Instead of focusing on a single "genius" animal, it's more accurate to highlight species known for their high cognitive abilities. According to HowStuffWorks, some of the most intelligent animals include:
- Chimpanzees
- Dolphins
- Orangutans
- Elephants
- Crows
These animals demonstrate intelligence through problem-solving, tool use, social complexity, and communication. The term "genius" is subjective, but these species certainly showcase impressive cognitive skills.
