Here are the 10 most intelligent animals on earth. Despite this being the internet, this time cats are not at the top.

#10 Cats



As pet owners know, cats are really good at hunting which is evident by the amount of dead things they can bring into the house. They have an amazing sensory ability and although they cannot be trained like dogs they have the ability to learn new skills. They just do it on their own terms.

#8 Elephants



Elephants have huge brains in comparison to many other animals. Having a large brain doesn’t mean much of course, but by human standards elephants are pretty smart. They have shown to interact socially with others and show empathy towards their own species.

#6 Dogs



With dogs intelligence can vary depending on the breed. Generally speaking however dogs can be taught new skills and respond to human training. Breeds such as Labradors, Border Collies and Poodles are naturally curious about their environment and are capable of noticing the smallest of changes.
