1. HOMING PIGEONS
At the time people need some kind of map and compass to find their way home after a long journey, homing pigeon can return from a very long distance (more than 1,100 miles) without any guidance.
Actually, they have some help. According to research by the University of Frankfurt, pigeons have iron-containing structures in their beaks, which helps them feel the earth's magnetic field independent of motion and posture, which can determine their geographic position. Research released this year showed magnetic charm is present in other birds.
2. ANT
Despite their small size, many varieties of ants in the world who have extraordinary abilities. One of the most impressive is smithii mycocepurus from Amazon, a feminist super-species that have developed the ability to reproduce through cloning to evolve into an all-female species.
According to research from the University of Arizona, it is unclear when the change occurred, but with reproduction without sex, energetic ants avoid the production process of male and replace them with double the number of female reproduction are produced every generation.
Unlike us humans, ants are also studying ways to efficiently manage their super traffic.In 2006 research by the University of California Berkeley has determined that the trap-jaw ant (bauri Odontomachus) can close its jaws at an incredible speed. This process takes place in just 0.13 milliseconds, 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
3. TERMITE
In Zimbabwe, michaelseni Macrotermes termite species have developed the proper technique for a particular mushroom farms that serve as their food.
These fungi can only grow about 87 degrees Fahrenheit, while temperatures outside the nest is 104 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 35 degrees Fahrenheit at night, termites have had a system to keep the temperature in their nests by constantly opening and closing vents heating and cooling.
This is an idea that inspired the Loughborough University who has conducted studies using the same technique to humans in the building.
4. CHIMPANZEE
Many who have known about the intelligence of chimpanzees, with some people who claim they were geniuses and others say that their intelligence is only equivalent to 3-year-old human child.
But at least there is one area in which chimps are smarter than humans, namely photographic memory. A study by the Institute of Kyoto University Primate Research proves young chimpanzees have an extraordinary memory capability for numerical memory, even better than human adults tested in the same case and follow the same procedure.
5. DOLPHINS
Recently, dolphin declared as being the world's second most intelligent. A zoologist from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, according to The Times, said that "they neuroanatomy suggests psychological continuity between humans and dolphins," and called for reconsideration of human interaction with dolphins. Other scientists from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles sebgai even call them "people of non-human."
So yes, dolphins are smarter than chimpanzees with capabilities similar to human communication. Their brains just a little difference with the mass of the human brain, making them as animals with different personalities and cultures with the ability to think about the future.
