  • OWNED! I saw this clip in another video. It blew my mind. Other species develop intelligence independent of us. Who knows what potential other species have to become intelligent?

  • i had a pet crow for a while and once i set down my soda he went pulled the lid off pushed the cup over then drank it he was funny then a hawk killed him he came to his name to utside his whole life just called and hed flie to my shoulder

  • what's interesting is how far the researchers go to explain this as something less, inferior to human intelligence, something that happens without cognitive awareness. Without cognitive awareness solving this problem would could easily be dangerous to the crow, but it avoids any stupid mistakes, and does a better job than many a human might do at a similar task. They need to drop their anthropocentric thinking and realize the obvious.

  • @LanceDirk One would come to think a great many, I think apes and monkeys are going to be showing us a thing or two in the next decade or more. Besides that, the octopus has started so we SHALL see.

  • Woah.
