Intelligence in Animals

Animal intelligence refers to an animal’s ability to learn, adapt, solve problems, and communicate within its environment. It varies across species and individual animals, encompassing skills such as finding food, navigating, using tools, social interactions, and understanding circumstances. While not all animals have human-like reasoning, many demonstrate complex behaviors that show they can think and learn. Recognizing animal intelligence helps us better understand their needs and behaviors, fostering respect and improving how we interact with and care for them.
