7 Animals Smarter Than Humans (Page 2) | Care2 Healthy Living

The termites are fascinating critters as well as these ants.

Knowing how one does define "smartnesss would help. Hive smartnesss is definitely something different than individual smartness.

It's actually worse than that, since the site is praising ants for the "intelligence" to evolve in certain ways.

It feels to me like with this logic one could easily praise fire for its intelligence. After all it is very efficient in getting what it "wants," is hard to stop, moves in unexpected ways, etc.

I am amused at these responses since this is a pretty liberal site.

But i found the critters fascinating and dont care about the intelligence thing they suggest.
Did you watch the video of the ants jumping?
And i read about the termites doing this before,,, and still, find it amazing the stuff God gives to His critters so small.
What more would He do for us.

Animals are quite fascinating and truly adept, but incapable of higher reasoning... Neat stuff though!

It's obviously only mice and dolphins.

Have none of you read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
