Why is this poll? The intelligence of these animals isn't determined by our opinions of them.

Given that I go to work every day and my dog sleeps on my couch eating my food, sleeping on my bed..... you gotta wonder who the "intelligent" creature is here! In my next life I want to come back as my dog!

Dolphins are the smartest animals, and they don't have destructive tendencies like humans. ;-)

I love dolphins, but do a little research on their reproductive behaviors.

Where are the bonamos? They're chimp cousins; look just like slender chimps but make love all day and never murder as chimps (and men) are known to do.
