When a crow dies, the rest of the murder (a flock of crows) will actually set up a crime scene to figure out the cause of death
now that's just badass.
So they can avoid the same death right?
ok
Then they take bath
Me:Looks like there's been a...
*stifles laugh
Murder!
Crow: someone fucking died
What a difference three years make. Yes, crows in general are intelligent, but in 2018 scientists discovered that New Caledonian crows don't just USE tools, they can CRAFT tools by combining two or more otherwise non-functional elements. As it stands today, this ability has only been observed in humans, great apes, and the New Caledonian crow.
Supercool!!!
Awesome
Just figured I'd add to this, it's not just the New Caledonian crow, many of the Corvidae family will craft and use tools, and they have the functioning ability in using the tools they create at a problem solving level above almost all other creatures. And to boot, they're actually better at remembering words and sounds than parrots, and can do regional accents and dialects. They're a criminally underated animal when it comes to intelligence, but a lot of it comes down to superstition during the Christianisation of Europe and Crows / Ravens being worshipped by Pagans.
That’s creepy.
I mean other animals might be able to, they just can't grab things like those three can
Chimpanzees are so smart, they say "NO" when being told to subscribe to Watchmojo.
I'm pretty sure any animal would do the same! 👀

Underrated comment.
Alex Porter haha true
I see you again 🤣
Crows should’ve been higher up the list man! This one time I threw a pebble at a crow and from that day onwards there’s always bird shit on my car! Smart sob
Probably that very crow. I am sure he remembers LOL!!
Parrot is smarter than crows even tho there Intelligent are all most the same because crows can only live for 10 to 15 years when parrat can live 80+ years, and just like we do they can teach their children
You deserve it. Why would you throw a pebble at a creature?
Crows can actually remember faces so that explains it
Raven live 70 year in captivity
Dolphins out here vaping underwater
Did you know dolphins intentionally poison themselves in small doses to get high?
Kyle Harrington I don’t put it beyond them... they’re very.... lively creatures.
Lol they get high with puffer fish right ??? Lol
Wtf how am I just hearing about this
@@kyleparker613 and jaguars eat hallucinogenic plants.
In Australia, animals that eat toads are poisoned and die, but crows have figured out that flipping a toad on it's back to eat from it's stomach avoids the poison glands!
+Tony Hardman Yea they are incredibly intelligent animals. When I was younger on the street I lived on crows seemed to have some sort of meeting meeting every single day at 4:00 P.M. There were birds covering the entire street. It was the weirdest thing. I've seen them on a different street in my town in recent years doing that. I guess they decided to change location.
Wow, that's smart! :o
They used to do that on the common near my house at exactly 4:00 pm too! How weird!
Luculencia I guess they like that time. It's funny too considering how they are sometimes associated with death, and how in Japanese culture the number four is associated with it due to apparently simply being similar to their word for death, so four in Japan has a lot of superstitions connected to it, like we have for the number 13 in the West. Just a random fact to make it weirder. lol. I actually think it's really cool when animals meet up like that. I'm sure they have a lot of important things to discuss. More species should do that.
The crows at my apartment complex have learned the dumpster is quite filthy and disgusting, so they will wait for a cat or dog to pull food out of the dumpster to eat, and then chase the animal way from the food or steal it from them and quickly fly away.
Crows are INCREDIBLY intelligent. I had a long-standing friendship with one who would commonly meet up with me at the park and follow me around. Really awesome birds who are definitely making their way up the evolutionary ladder.
And they have been discovered to cooperate with wolves in the wild to hunt!
@@Paveway-chan for real, how? Is there a documentary or something!
Octopus should be on the main list. They are unbelievably smart!
Especially considering they are solitary and have such short life spans. The way they learn and adapt is incredible.. imagine if they were social and lived longer.. they would be the smartest animal on earth

Octopus deserves more than an honorable mention!
Their damned lifespan destroys their intellectual potential ;-;
Luis Arturo Sánchez Gutiérrez intellect and intelligence is not the same thing. Octopus is the most intelligent animal on this planet. I think they are more intelligent than humans. Although, as you said their life span stops them from reaching their full potential. That’s good news for us humans I suppose, otherwise they might have eaten all of us by now haha :D
Eugene Miyelis Haha, yh I am an Octopus commenting on the video from the underworld. I have to say I am really pissed off with the list and when my species start to dominate the world, the maker of this video will regret the choice she made. 😈😈😈
Humans didn't even get a honorable mentions damn that's rough.

I used to have several pet rats. They are very smart. They could recognize their names and would come when called. I only kept them in their cages when I was at work. Otherwise, they had free run of the place. One particular rat named Ozzy would sit on the dining room chair and watch me cook every day. He knew that some of what I was making was for their dinner. Usually just fruit and vegetables, fish, sometimes a baked sweet potato with little marshmallows. They loved that.
It's sad that their lives are so short.
Back in my high school years one of the students had a pet crow and I was quite surprised how smart they're
It was really funny how the racoon stole the cat food and dipped out 1:25 😂😂😂😂😂
same
😂😂😂😂
All the cats just stared at him too. "What the heck is this guy doi- ... wait, did he just steal our food?! The hell? Somebody call the cops!"
One sneaky nigga
If only it was that easy for humans
rat should be higher did you hear about that one rat that learned English and karate and than taught it to four turtles
Edit: Holy shit thanks for the likes and hilarious comments
Rats should be higher on the list. U.S. just had one leave the White House and one got fired from the FBI.

You're amazing!
They’re probably not in the top 10 for smartest animals, but Crocodiles, especially Nile and Saltwater crocs are pretty smart. They can memorize the patterns and times of animals coming to the water to drink, they display fairly extensive parental care, especially for reptiles and some of them have even used tools. Very interesting animals
Did you guys know that an octopus will use its tentacles to measure to width of a whole to see if it can squeeze through? The only thing the octopus cannot compress is the cartilage between its eyes, like the cartilage in our noses. It also figured that it could not take a crab out of a bottle, so it squeezed inside and ate the crab, digested it, and then left the bottle. Such a fascinating creature.
I meant hole, not whole
+ZyrtorkDragon
Yeah I think octopuses (both forms of plural are correct) should have been top 5.
i've heard somewhere that in some places it is illegal to hurt octopi due to their high intelligence
look up the mimic octopus
In fact, it's proven that octopuses also have self awareness

No mention of bears. They're amazingly smart. Especially when it cones to pik-a-nik baskets.
When you killed a crow or raven. It's pals will remember your face and attack you, mostly sucking out your eyes.
Bitch what
thats impossible crows cant suck they can peck them out but never suck them out
Snakes can do the same
Australian magpies who are known to swoop people in spring can be befriended by feeding them. They will then trust you and not swoop you anymore. They will even recognise you even if they haven't seen you in a few years.
Dude I bet a murder of ravens would mess a person up
You missed the greatest part about the mask and the crows. The crows actually doesnt seen this particular mask before. The man scared the mother of these crows. The experiment showed that crows can actually give information (like talking) to their kind about one certain human face. They dont have to see it. The crows showed the same scared reaction to the face like their mother. Plus the mother wasnt around at the time of the second experiment. That is a very detailed information for an animal. Incredible huge in my opinion.
PS: In Berlin (and elsewhere too for sure) are crows who learned about the traffic lights. They wait for red for cars and fly to the waiting cars in front of the traffic light. The crow put a nut under the wheel and will fly on a higher position. It waits for green, cars driving, nut is open. But it is actually clever enough and wait again for red, even if no car is around. Only if it is save and the traffic light shows red, the crow comes back and claim their reward.
PPS: Border Collies are pretty smart for dogs, but dogs in general are not very clever if you compare them with wild animals. wolves are in average as smart as the smartest dogs. so humans breed the intelligence out of them... But this is not a surprise, animals in the wild have to use their brain to survive, pets have to use their brain to get more fat. ;)
Crows also pass down information through the generations, which is really cool.
Humans are the smartest animals

1:20 Racoon: Hi cats... Okaaaay, I'm just gonna steal your food.
Elephants have been know to mourn the death of a HUMAN on occasion.
Well even dogs and cats do that.
Buts 🐕 s and 🐱 s are domestic animals mourning the death of humans is common with domesticated animals. Wild animals not so much.
They sure have. They are self aware also and incredibly creative. Ever heard of Elephant paintings?
@@scottcupp8129 no but I'm going to google it tho
@@danielgoodrich264 It's amazing. They paint some pretty cool portraits.
Octopus HAD to be in the top 10 somewhere.... honorable mention isn't good enough
agreed. probably instead of the collie, and placing it somewhere at number 7 or 8. they're not only smart, they're also totally alien
Yeah I dont get it either...
Maybe it is, because their intelligence ist different and thus less comparable to ours, because of the decentralisation and so on
Octopi are one of 4 species to use tools to solve problems, this list is BS
How true. Octopus should be smarter than the border collie in the list
I agree that the octopus should have been in the top 10, but why is everybody picking on the border collie. They are freakishly intelligent.
Cats are very smart. My cat has me paying all the Bill's and buying the food. Yet she won't let me sit on my own favourite chair 😼
You might not believe me, but I am a squid and I'm OUTRAGED that we only got an honorable mention.
I DEMAND on behalf of all squids that you redo this video
Time for Squid Game eh !!
A great example of intelligent animals are Ravens. They can solve complex puzzles and are considered to be one of the most intelligent birds.
+Ephebo Phil IV No, same genus but different species.
nevermore
Dat Boi
The Carrion Crow is, arguably, more adaptable that the Raven. So they are likely the more intelligent member on the Corvus genus.
Corvyn Malfoy I saw a carrion carrying its baby under my deck in a heavy storm 😍
Cats are even smarter but they refused to participate in tests.
Joe Dirt smarter than what?

Thanks for acknowledging and including the titles of movies and documentaries
I’m convinced my Border Collie is just a human wearing a fur coat. Please don’t get one - they’re too smart, he knows what I’m saying all the time- oh my god help-
The whales: They learn for 200 years, but their environment is so different from ours we have no means to comprehend them; and for example as you saw on this video we measure intelligence with tools at close range, but what whales do works on huge distances and objects that we can't wrap our intelligence around.
Yeah, whales built Atlantis
+Simonas Mažeikis (ZetZet) no, Atlantis built whales
Eric Paroissien ìiioio777io7777
Still, they are unable to build and use technics.
Men see often technology as an end in itself; but even when it is a means we can doubt its efficiency in achieving the meaningful. For example let's say: "The only thing that counts is how we treat each other." But if greed is okay, if more control and power is okay, if grudge and revenge is okay, then technology, our type of intelligence is a success. Look at one major aspect of technology: language. Most of the time we use it for power or to establish that we are special.
Octopus should have been on the list for sure, rather than just being mentioned
yes those bastards are smart
they always trick me underwater with ink and weird movements
Dolphins and elephants are my favorites!
- dolphins have again and again revealed themselves as saviors of man
- elephants are just enormous, powerful and passionate (shows human like compassion)
Dolphins iq is mostly useless cuz they dont have the dexterity to build stuff
Loved Joe Dirt,s comment about the cats ,you cant tell a cat what to do and when, only when they want to, and they are clever, Graham Boult.
Crow should've been "corvid" to include the equally clever ravens and magpies.
We used to have a lot of trouble with ravens getting into the trash when I was a kid. Even when the trash can was latched shut, they'd work together to pry the latch open and then knock the can over to get at the goodies they'd learned would be inside.
Does anyone care ?
Well, obviously
I saw one at a zoo recently, it was very interesting because it seemed to understand everything I said and even flew away after I said bye.
corvus, for ravens and crows. my name is actually corvin
Corvidae is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers. In common English, they are known as the crow family, or, more technically, corvids.
I just thought you'd find that interesting, as all of them are very intelligent avians. ;D
I have a border collie and he's so smart it's annoying. You can't fool him into doing things you need him to because he's just too clever. It's like the more clever you are the less innocent you are and sometimes I just wished he was stupid. But I love him so much LOL
Believe me you don't want a stupid dog. They only act head strong, eat, bark, pooh, and tear everything up and can not be taught simple discipline.
Lê Kim Khánh Check out how smart this one is!! (Very cool story.) www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Technology/world-smartest-dog-nova-special-shows-border-collie/story%3fid=12875750
I have one too - and he is so smart it's weird. I can just speak to him and he understands. He also whispers to wake me up at night - so he doesn't disturb others that are sleeping. I've never bonded with a dog like this - he's very intelligent.

When aliens test human's intelligence:
Alien: "So what is a product of 2341233 and 41234432?"
Humans: "Uhhhhhh"
Alien: "Let's train them to be a little bit more intelligent"
Elephants are still my favorite, they're just so innocent.
I love elephants too, but they can be very dangerous to other animals including humans. But I wouldn't use the term innocent in this context anyway, so...
A poacher killed a mother elephants calf so she killed a bunch of people from villages and was even observed eating one of her victims
They'd steal bikes and cars if they could fit on & in them. They also can't easily hide so they avoid doing things they'd be busted for.
"they are so innocent" untill you learn what bull elephants do to rihno
Octopus deserve to be more than just an honorable mention.
Ikr? They could make the case for #1 even. Octopi are extraordinary problem solvers and have proven themselves capable of outwitting humans time and again.
I agree
Smartest animals in the world, they just think differently to humans so aren’t paid attention to like other animals
It's said that they have more grey matter than humans.
When the racoon runs on its hind legs, it looks like a robber with sagged pants trying to run.
we find out in tests that rats are incredibly intelligent but continue to inhumanely test them
If Raccoons are so smart then why the hell do they keep running into the street while i'm driving
+Colliding With Mars They are not used to the road, they think they are well hidden so you won't "eat" them
+Colliding With Mars because they know it annoys you. it's a universal raccoon fact in the raccoon encyclopedia
+Colliding With Mars Because they're trying to pick the pockets of the human who was hit earlier.
+Colliding With Mars BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CROSS THE ROAD ....THEY ARE TEACHING YOU THAT ....WE TO CROSS THE ROAD AND DRIVE SAFELY ...SOMEONE MAY DIE ...CAUSE YOU SUCK AT DRIVING .......QUACK QUACK
+Colliding With Mars Squirrels too. Though technically I accidentally ran it over on my bike. It probably out there still with a broken tail.
Can't believe octopus didn't make it
I meant in the top 10 not as a honorable mention
+Preproto I know right? I saw this documentary where an octopus had lost one of its tentacles(cut-off) and the tentacle went and caught food(some small fish) and brought it to the octopus. Apparently they have neurons in their tentacles.
Yeah I think there is a lot we don't understand with them, it's the only way I can explain how they're color blind.... yet can match colors, maybe their skin is doing the reacting/seeing
+Preproto Maybe they just don't interpret colors the way we do?
Chaos89P They're really interesting creatures. But then again I'm far from a biologist... it's just my own assumptions

Cats
Well said.
Probably true
Deep sea species
Love the way the raccoon was looking away as he stole the food "Nothing to see here"
I agree with you I wouldn't change the list at all
All of these animals have been observed for years but we still haven't scratched the surface of how smart they are. It proves that there was intelligence long before humans walked the earth.
Orcas: am I a joke to you?
Orcas deserved a spot, Octopi deserved a spot. If you're interested in knowing why, search for TierZoo
Orcas are legitamately fucking terrifying, they straight up hunt Great Whites for their liver
MuhammadAbualQasim
Technically orcas are whales as much are they are dolphins. Toothed whales to be exact.
Orcas are a type of dolphin
@PewDie-Ton EX Do you have anything to back that up? Because in case you've forgotten, humans have multiple languages that each require unique placement and movements of the lips, teeth and tongue. I also think it's fair to say in a hypothetical situation where an Orca/dolphin fights a human when both sides have time to prepare for the fight, despite its immense natural inferiority, the human would win due to usage of tools and inventions by their species. So no, Orcas are not smarter than humans
I thought humans would make the list but then I thought....oh wait, we still have conservatives.
Shut the fuck up
You see I'm simply one hell of a butler

"Be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com"
"NOOOO!"
I flipping hate watchmojo and every time I accidentally click one of their videos, I pause and click away as soon as I hear the little musical noise at the beginning
*****
To be honest, I cancelled my subscription when my email was just getting flooded with "Top 10 (insert decade) (insert adjective) bands/songs/shit-I-don't-care-about". Now I just get irritated every time I see WM in the related, but sometimes I can't help clicking. I don't know why I get irritated.
And I'd rather not shit on them, especially here, in their own comment section. They haven't wronged me in any way, so I feel like the reply I'm making right now is very disrespectful to them.
Sorry, WatchMojo.com , it's nothing personal.
I just don't like their vids. Low quality research, annoying voices, too long.. etc
So yeah I tend to agree with you that while they didn't do anything inherently bad, I get this irrational fury whenever I accidentally click their stuff
*****
Umm, don't you look at the title, timestamp and uploader info before clicking? That's what I do, cause there are some channels that I outright refuse to give views (buzzfeed, for example), and other channels that I don't want associated with my suggestions, but am still curious to see, so I watch incognito.
I feel really bad for what I'm about to suggest, but, if you really hate WM so much, what you can do is click on the video, pause immediately, dislike and leave. I hate to advocate doing something like this, but it's the only way I know of to make youtube stop suggesting videos from a given channel.
As for your criticisms of WM's content, I don't see how their research is "low quality" when most of their lists are generated from opinion polls on their site, IMO their voices are fine and don't irritate me, and the video length is average at between 5 and 10 minutes, so I don't take issue with any of that. What I got sick of was the _subject matter_. A lot of the lists are really, well, _boring_. And at that, I can't really say why. I'd have to look at a list of their uploads to give examples.
Your response was very good. I usually do avoid clicking but once in a while I slip up. And I also usually pause and leave immediately (usually with a dislike, but I rarely hit the dislike anyway).
And yes, you worded it well... the video subject matter is so boring... that's kind of what I meant by low quality. They just seem to need to churn out videos without putting a whole lot of thought into making it interesting for bigger audiences. My kids like WM, and I let them surf RUclips on my account sometimes... that's probably why it keeps showing up in my thumbnails.
Thanks for being calm, I was ranting and needed a good person to point it out. :)
The cat was like “is this Racoon seriously taking food from us??” Cat was too shocked to do anything 😂😂
I expected Border Collie (#9) to rank MUCH higher....
I suppose the breed as whole is taking into consideration, but meeting collies meant to work on a farm, that were bred to work - it's just crazy when you look into their eyes! Constantly assessing, evaluating - not just their incredible energy.
Compared to the other animals on this list, dogs are not very smart. Loyalty and unconditional love does not equal intelligence.
Elephants can also recognize themselves in a mirror.
My goats sister died, she was depressed for 3 days. She hid at the back of the pasture and didn’t eat. She finally came out, walked up to me and laid her head on my leg. I felt so sorry for her.
They reward the Dolphin by feeding it a very intelligent Squid.
How dare they feed it something it would eat in the wild
Cats should be on this list.
Mine knows how to open doors, and knows where I store the food.
The video of the orangutan laughing hysterically at a magic trick still blows my mind every time.
the best way to judge a persons character is how they treat animals. they don't have voices of their own. they're at our mercy. be merciful.
Actually in my opinion Gorillas should be the top. Koko is a great example of this. When they were doing research to get her to learn sign language, they also tried with an Orangutan and a Chimp and only Koko succeeded in learning to completely talk in sign language. No other animal on planet earth (other than humans) has achieved this.....
there are orangutans that learnt sign language, Chantek for example
This is debatable. While I once volunteered to the Gorilla Foundation, I grew disenchanted. It's not certain that Koko really knows as many signs as Penny Patterson claims, as it is only she who translates for her. While I do believe she is quite intelligent, she may not be at the top. For my money, it's the African grey parrot.
+The Legendary Red X By that logic all people are idiots
+Phazon-Monado hahaha stupid people I saw that too lol
Harambe would have...
Personally I’d put the Crow at number one because of the Caledonian Crows ability to craft its own tools and hooks and ability to use a tool to retrieve the appropriate tool for the job. That is unbelievable intelligence.
I think every animal is intelligent. Some in ways that we will never understand. I love knowing that we share this planet with all creatures great and small.
“Elephants recognize 12 distinct tones of music”

They are wonderful pets!
No word of a lie one of my border collies once got in a Royal Mail van and sat waiting for the postman. She loves the postman and vice versa but he's adamant that door was closed when he left it (would have to be I guess) and said when he came back and saw the passenger door wide open he thought he'd been robbed. Then got nearer and there she is happy as a pig in shit wiggling at him “Yeeeee it's you... I like you I do”
Same dog can open and close doors, unlock gates, carry buckets and stuff for recycling or laundry etc but I didn't teach her how to bust into Royal Mail vans and sit patiently on the passenger seat.
Crows can remember a face for two years that’s impressive and every “caw caw ca-caw” they make is a word for there language they should’ve been higher on the list
You forgot the jumping spider genus, Portia. It's considered the most intelligent arthropod. Because it retains some of the best depth perception in the world, as well as sight in general, they can measure distance as good if not better than we can. They also show an ability to adapt, improvise, and calculate their every movement and strikes that rivals many mammals. This genus of jumping spider has been observed to hunt with almost intellectual tactics, stalking their prey and looking for the best direction to strike according to their preys position
You're so right, B-Prepper! They also show curiosity, a curious lack of fear, and they can "remember " prey hidden behind bigger objects. I love jumping spiders. They're fun! The biggest one I've ever seen was in one of my roses--black and white, and easily 1.5 inches big. With that help, who needs aphid spray??
Absolutely right, both of you! Some subspecies of jumping spiders have even shown hunting traits similar to that of the wolf: younger, faster specimens wear down the prey while larger, older specimens use their body weight and bite strength to bring the tired prey down. Some live in family groups of the mother, father and many of the female children, and some even create small, pseudo-colonies. At this rate, jumping spiders are going to start building cities! X)
+Rotsuoy I love em! They are the only spiders that I like sooo cute.
Spiders?? Cute???
Oh my stars and garters!!
They don't show true intelligence sorry m8
I notice that politicians aren't on the list.
Politicians are not a species
@@aidanknisch1996 It's a joke
Politicians are not a species
@@ironflux4219 You must be very fun at parties
Sure they did. They just called them rats. Although, technically, they should be referred to as 'dirty rats'.
1:18 when I find out my sister tried keeping me away from chips while looking away
I had a Siamese cat that was very smart. Siamese cats are regular cats turned up to eleven. They’re a very smart breed. My cat had problem solving skills and, among other things, learned how to turn the doorknob on my bedroom door to open the door.
I met the most adorable Orangutan at the National Zoo. He knew sign language, and was great at expressing his feelings.
I was so amazed that I watched him for over an hour.
Elephants, dolphins, and whales are extremely intelligent.
Pigeons shall prevail
+Savio Fernandes ha have you done your research?

+Nate g THE SLOTH BATALLION PRESENT LORD PIGEON ^-^
Wow... cats didnt even get an honorable mention?
Orcas also mimic human voices. And some packs even used key words or sounds while hunting
It's not correct that crows are the only non-mammals to use tools. Of course there are other birds who do so. But even the honorably mentioned octopus who is a squishy mollusk does use tools,. It's even shown how it walks on the sea floor with it's coconut shells! And it can do a lot of other amazing things, like learning by watching, walking mazes, escaping from a tank and reckognizing individual people. The problem is that it's intelligence is so alien that it's hard to assess.
this list was biased, in that it was made by humans. and humans like to consider primates the smartest species because they are so similar to us, and everyone knows humans are the most intelligent species on the planet. But yeah I was a bit shocked that octopus was on honorable mention. just look at how they camoflauge themselves... it is a conscious decision to change the color and even texture of their skin, and the exact position that they are in is all their intelligence
TRUE STORY: So there was this dolphin, and the was a lot of trash in his tank. He was the smartest dolphin in the tank, so the zookeeper gave him a fish for every piece of trash the dolphin gave him. The dolphin kept giving the zookeeper tiny bits of trash for fish, so the zookeeper started wondering where the heck the dolphin got all that small trash. Turns out, the dolphin was tearing off tiny bits of trash off of a paper bag to get more fish rather than turning in one bag and getting only 1 fish.
I've heard that story before
Ha ha that’s hilarious!
Amazing.
All animals have intelligence more than humans realize
My ex boyfriend should be in this video. He was the smartest SNAKE i know !

Humans aren't on this list so you know it's accurate.
They already said they aren't gonna include Humans.
I think you missed the joke. Want me to tell you?
***** Yeah, I got it. He meant Humans are dumb. I wasn't paying attention. :v
+Nelson Rafael Medina I see that...xD
Why are humans stupid? Because we fight each other and destroy the environment we live in? Like other animals don't do that.
Animal telling you how many corners an object has, how is the parrot not 1
