For other birds, the researchers say, they may eventually be able to hook up wire hooks to get food, but they are definitely not so fast. Crow's behavior can be said to be a moment to complete, do not need to be considered". (Ru Zhi) (source: International Online)
Some news stories about animal intelligence
In new network on 21 February, according to Central News Agency quoted the 20 British media reports, experts say that dolphins are too clever for performance in the theme park, also should not be forced them to swim with people, it makes them by heart.
Dolphins are considered to be the most intelligent animals. A new study shows that their brain volume is only next to the human.
The United States of Atlanta (Atlanta) "Emory University" (EmoryUniversity) neuroscientist Marino said that their high intelligence means, once arrested or by the shameless, will cause psychological problems.
She said that the dolphins trapped in the theme park, or forced to swim with the tourists, the heart will be hurt.
She said: "for the complexity of the brain and the wisdom of the brain research, we are currently known, these practices may cause damage to the dolphin, and to mislead us on the understanding of the dolphin intelligence."
"Dolphins are complex, conscious, highly intelligent creatures," she said. They have a character, can be independent, have a spiritual life, it is difficult to bear the huge pain and mental trauma."
Marino's research, to the amusement park to provide visitors with the dolphin interactive approach to challenge. People used to think that dolphins have healing abilities.
People with disabilities are often said to have a good health and dolphin swimming.
"The whale and Dolphin Conservation Society" (Whale and DolphinConservation Society) science director Simmons (MarkSimmons) said: "I think that we must be very careful, not only with dolphins swimming, but also by boat to observe them."
The latest research shows that in the animal world, the dolphin's brain is the largest in the world.
Marino said: "many of the dolphin's brain is much larger than the human brain. After the body ratio of conversion, their brain quality second only to the human brain."
Her research in 2001, the dolphins can recognize their appearance in the image. This means that they have the necessary self cognitive ability of higher intelligence.
Marino will be held in Santiago, the United States to promote science association, the latest research results published.
If you talk to animals, can they understand? The latest research shows that it is possible because the animal's IQ is much higher than the original imagination.
See you two weeks to remember you for two years
According to the American Broadcasting Company reported on 22, the University of Cambridge Babraham Institute recently on the sheep's IQ was tested. The results showed that the sheep has the excellent ability to recognize people.
Let a sheep on the TV screen to identify the human face, if it will get the right reward, the results in the 50 test of small and medium sheep are accurately identified by the human face, the accuracy rate reached 100%.
The Babraham Institute neuroscientist Keith Kendrick said, as long as together for two weeks and the sheep, sheep can remember you for two years. Sheep look at people as the first look at the outline of the hair, face, ears are the focus of attention, and then look at the nose, eyes. In addition, the sheep obviously like people's smiling face, friendly attitude, good temper and good people are more likely to be close to the sheep. More surprising is that the ram can identify which females grow and. The handsome male faces have the same appeal to the female sheep.
The sheep are moved by sight"
Another way to test the intelligence of a sheep is to test the imagination of a sheep, for imagination is a key indicator of the brain's awareness of the subject. The study found that the sheep can be moved by sight, when a sheep feel another sheep in the vicinity, see whether the sheep. The sheep smell, taste, or hear the sheep. "Previous experience will be painful and pleasant in sheep heart". This experiment shows that sheep have a certain ability to imagine. The next step is to prove that the sheep have a sense of self, at least potentially. If these can be confirmed, people may want to sit up and take notice the sheep.
Pigs will use a computer joystick
In fact, a high IQ of the animal is not just a sheep. For example, a pig called Hamlet is a computer expert, and it can move the pointer on the computer screen to the blue area with a joystick designed for chimpanzee. The one legged dog Jack Lasse after a year of training is still unable to complete this task, in other words, pigs are smarter than dogs. John Webster, a professor at the University of Bristol in the UK, said: "they are very curious to handle their own problems. They also do a careful study of the world, like the little boy to beat the joystick."
A new study also shows that the trained chickens can control the henhouse temperature regulating device. Even seems stupid cow has a surprising inner world, learn some new things as cattle, they also show excitement.
