Talk, joke, solve math problems, understand words, lie, be sad, swear, love, fry fish? Monkeys can do this too.
Why chimpanzees are the smartest animal
According to scientists, the most intelligent among primates is the chimpanzee.
Among the ten most intelligent animals on the planet, the first six places are occupied by primates - gibbons, chimpanzees, orangutans, monkeys, baboons and gorillas.
Chimpanzees Chimpanzees are the most similar to humans and have the most impressive cognitive abilities of any animal after humans.
They see, think and act like humans, and are able to play games and even solve math problems.
It is believed that their brain capabilities are comparable to those of a five-year-old child.
As noted in an article for Primates magazine, experts know of several dozen cases of chimpanzees fighting off prey from predators, including leopards, but such observations have not yet been made in the Issa Valley.
How do chimpanzees see
Unlike us, they do not have a “yellow spot,” which is why their visual acuity is about 3 times weaker than that of humans.
But in the dark they see much more clearly than in daylight.
This is due to the presence of a reflective membrane in their retina, which operates on the principle of car headlights.
Previously, we talked about zebras.
