Top 10 Most Intelligent Animals In The World: Gone are the days when the human species deemed itself the only intelligent being. With today’s current technology and an endless number of studies by countless experts, it seems like humans are much more aware of what the rest of the species can do. However, things were surely a bit different until a few decades ago, when people were still either experimenting or were assuming that animals hardly used their brains. But with people being more aware of how wonderfully smart nature can be, it's only getting rather obvious that animals always were the best when it came to their survival. And survival isn't possible without intelligence. With that in mind, we thought of taking a look at something similar; the smartest animals in the world.

No one is saying that most animals are as smart as humans. In fact, if that would have been the case, things probably might have been entirely different. But believe it or not, if not at the same level, there are a few animal species that are at quite an impressive level when it comes to intelligence. As mentioned earlier, we will take a look at these very species of animals that have made a name for themselves in being smarter than the rest. We have found a list of the top 10 animals with impressive intelligence and IQ. The list was compiled by ‘listverse’. Given below is a list of animals, along with their reported IQ.
