Animal Intelligence
Animal intelligence refers to the cognitive abilities of non-human animals, encompassing problem-solving, learning, communication, and social interaction. It varies widely across species, with some animals demonstrating advanced skills, such as tool use, self-awareness, and complex social structures. Research in animal cognition explores how different species perceive their environment, process information, and adapt behaviors. Notable examples include primates, dolphins, elephants, and certain bird species, which exhibit remarkable intelligence comparable to that of humans in specific contexts. Understanding animal intelligence contributes to insights in evolutionary biology, psychology, and conservation efforts.
