6- CROWS

7- RATS
Although rats are considered nothing more than disease carriers they are one of the most inventive creatures on earth. The reason that scientists prefer to use rats and mice for experiments is that their brains are capable of finding shortcuts and loopholes in mazes.

11- Portia Labiate Jumping Spider
This species is a member of the genus Portia and the smallest creatures in the list. It is also known as the White-whiskered Portia, their living in critical areas and secondary forests in Africa, Asia, and Australia. This spider has shown the ability to learn in laboratory tests and the bug has been labeled the smartest in the world. They performs surprisingly well in various tasks of solving problems. One of their skills to fool your opponent is in their food, which is caused by the sounds from the nest until you are caught in the trap. If Portia had been found of this spider before, it will remember what the rhythm pattern used to achieve success. Portia had large eyes and have been seen using instinctive behavior extraordinary. The spider that planned to use trial-and-error approach to hunting and cognitive showed a strong base.
When the prey comes and goes, the spider will sit and wait for hours to have perfect moment to strike. Then, plan ahead and understanding that will eventually eat again. This spider has also shown signs of selective attention by identifying a particular object and prey on others.

12- Border Collie
Border collie is widely regarded as the most intelligent dog breed in the world. They usually spend their time in tending sheep and cattle handling various forms, but also make great pets. With physical exercise and various forms of mental stimulation this dog is the fastest way to learn. Offspring originated in Scotland, Welsh, and English border and the dogs make a direct impact on the agricultural industry. It has been determined that in certain areas collie Australian Outback who are trained to do five times the amount of work that can manage people. Border collie dog sports are dominated over all breeds. They excel in the high jump, utility classes, fly-ball, and even can take first place in dog dancing competitions.

Octopus is considered the most intelligent invertebrate life. In the experimental conditions of these animals have shown short-and long-term memory. They have an extraordinary observation learning and problem solving skills. Octopus nervous system has a very large, but only partially found in their brains. About two-thirds of an octopus, as neurons can be found on the rope around and the arm. There are arms that have a very large autonomy. They are masters of mimicry and camouflage. They are masters of escape in the catch. This animal is very keen eyesight, sense of touch, and very fast.

14- Rhesus Monkey
Besides humans, rhesus monkeys are the most extensive in the world. Rhesus monkeys are known as the intelligence and because it has been widely used in biological and medical research. It has great memory, the ability to learn, and make their own decisions. They use the facial expressions very similar and understood by humans. Rhesus Monkeys have demonstrated suicidal tendencies, planning attacks, and highly complex social animals. They have a detailed system of shared vocal similarities to human communication. Research on the genome sequencing of the Rhesus Monkey completion in 2007, so that the second non-human primates to do this. This shows that humans and apes share 93% of their genetic DNA. Humans and apes chromosomes mosaic with each other.
