INCREDIBLE BRAINY ANIMALS

Intelligence is not the special privilege of human alone. The so-called 'lower' animals are equally skilled and hence are not really lower.

We often assume that we are at the acme of the high pyramid of evolution. But contemporary studies are revealing unbelievable facts about the intelligence of various animals. Let's take a look at some of these findings.

DOLPHINS

Dolphins are extremely social animals. They can find their relatives separated miles away in the sea for unknown reasons but they have their own language to communicate. Compared to other animals, dolphins are believed more intelligent.

SHEEP

Sheep make large groups and run away together from predators. Sheep can remember and identify animal faces and also human faces.

CHIMPANZEES

Chimps are a lot like humans. They posses genomes that are 98 percent identical to people, and make and use tools. They are able to organize work in groups, express a range of emotions and may show a violent side. They've actually beaten humans on a memory test on numbers. They can make and use tools, hunt collectively, and are capable of advanced problems solving.

DOG

The dog is human's best friend. It is trainable, sociable to humans, can understand commands and obedience. Dogs can identify and remember animal or human faces they've met, they can recognize radio, television etc. They also can be sensitive, jealous and they won't forget the hurt extended to them in their entire life.

ELEPHANT

The elephant's brain is very heavy. It weighs about 5 kg or more. Other large mammals such as rhinos and hippos don't have that kind of brain size. Elephants have the ability to use different objects in creative ways. They have been known to clean their food and use tools in various ways in the wild, and they can also follow human commands in captivity.

PARROT

Parrots are widely recognized as the smartest birds. They can do many wonderful things with their stunning beaks. A parrot can mimic human words, understand their meanings, can remember many words and utter sentences.

THE FORGOTTEN SCIENTIST

NIKOLA TESLA Nikola Tesla was the famous scientist of 19th century. Nikola Tesla was born on 10th July 1856 in Smiljan, Austria (modern-day Croatia Southeast Europe). His father Milutin was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church. From early age, he could memorize entire books and store logarithms table in his brain. At the age of 19, he was studying electrical engineering at Polytechnic Institute at Gray in Austria. Tesla's general IQ was in a range from 160 to 200. Average Nikola Tesla IQ was 180. He made dozens of breakthrough in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology. Though he was famous and respected, he was never able to translate his copious inventions into long-term financial success. In 1884, Tesla arrived in New York and was hired as an engineer at Thomas Alva Edison's Manhattan headquarters. After seeing his ingenuity, Edison told T...

THE GRACEFUL CREATURE OF THE SEAFLOOR

THE GRACEFUL CREATURE OF THE SEAFLOOR The sea pen is graceful creature of the seafloor; this sea pen resembles a plump, old-fashioned quill pen. Its colors range from dark orange to yellow to white. They live at many depths from shallow waters down to deep seas in tropical and temperate water worldwide. Each sea pen is a colony of polyps, small anemone like individuals working together for the survival of the whole. The primary polyp loses its tentacles and becomes the stalk of the sea pen with a bulb at its base. The bulb anchors the sea pen in the muddy or sandy bottom. They feed on phytoplankton and detritus particles. The red star, the leather star and the three types of Nudibranchs prey on sea pens. When touched, sea pens emit a bright greenish light; this is known as bioluminescence. when disturbed, a sea pen forces water out of the colony, making it possible for them to retreat into its bulbous foot. Recent research shows that the population of Sea pen has declined in some areas...

It has been given the nickname of "Lady's Slipper" because of its yellow petal that looks like a small clog or shoe. It is one of the most unusual flowers that you can see in the UK. LIVING STONE FLOWER The Lithops Weberi is native to South Africa. It is an amazing plant. They are called living stones for good reason. They look just like a couple of pebbles, and this camouflage prevents hungry, thirsty animals from gobbling them up during a drought. This plant sits very close to ground and has one or a number of bulbous leaves. whenever new leaves grow, white and yellow flowers ...
