Five Smartest Animals in the World?
What are the five smartest animals in the world?
1. Californian ground squirrel
This little animal has big problems. In the United States, rocky terrain and deep valleys are similar for this type of squirrel, which lives in forests and pastures in California, western Oregon, and western Nevada. But with their homes open, they are always at risk of being hunted.
An enemy is a rattlesnake, a snake that sniffs and hunts, and once it starts chasing, it becomes almost impossible to escape the target.
But the California ground squirrel has a clever way to fool his enemy. They have learned to cover their smell with the smell of snakes by rubbing the skinny snacks on them.
It is believed that squirrels have learned this process from generation to generation and this scent is essential for any smart squirrel to avoid snakes.
2. Cuttlefish
Cuttlefish have found a clever defense to avoid being eaten, which is also beautiful to look at. Instead of hiding itself in a hard shell, it adopts the color of its surroundings and blends into it, making it invisible.
They have small organs called chromatophores buried in the outermost layer of the skin. As the cuttlefish moves, each chromatophore is pulled from the brain through the muscles and all of a sudden a point turns into a colored circle.
By working on millions of such chromatophores at the same time, the cuttlefish can create patterns of specific colors that can be mixed anywhere. At the same time, its shape and texture can change so much that it seems to have completely disappeared.
All of these tricks are even more amazing because the cuttlefish itself can't see any color. So if she can't see all the colors she imitates, how can she do it with such accuracy?
A new study has revealed the secret of cuttlefish. Their skin cells contain a protein called opson, which is also found in the retina of the eye. So through these light-absorbing molecules, their skin can 'see' the color itself, which is why it can be said that it is one of the most beautiful and intelligent skins in the world.
3. Zebra
This oldest question in evolutionary biology has puzzled scientists ever since Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell first disagreed. But according to modern research, these stripes act as a camouflage through which they can be protected from enemies while fleeing.
But how can it be when these same stripes make it look more prominent? The answer is the secret of the greatest trick of any magician: the deception of the eyes.
White and black are colors that, if combined, can play many games with the brain and often with the eyes of animals.
Dr. Martin Howe of the University of Bristol has been studying leopard and lion sightings. "I've been studying animal sightings for many years and I'm very interested in the effect it has on the eyes of a striped zebra hunter," he says.
They investigated whether predators were being fooled by these stripes through the 'Wagon Wheel Vision'. The brain makes it easy to understand when you come across something as fast as a wheel.
But with this method, the brain misunderstands its direction. That's why when we see the wheels of a car or the wings of a plane moving fast, we think that they are either moving slowly or moving in the opposite direction.
Howe's research proved that when zebra flocks move together, their stripes create a mirage of 'motion diesel'. Hao believes that when a hunter sees the movement of these stripes, he thinks that the zebras are moving to the left while they may be moving to the right.
Every moment in the hunt is precious, so the eye-catchers take advantage of this opportunity and the zebra manages to escape and thus deceives the eyes.
4. African lion
If an animal looks like a lion and everyone else thinks it is a lion, you may think so too, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are a few lions in the Okavango Delta of Botswana whose dense mane and lion-like roaring roar often mislead opponents.
One of these unusual tigers in the mammography, which looks and sounds like a lion, but is definitely a tiger.
Like the four-haired lionesses, it is believed that mammary glands have high and low levels of hormones due to mutations in their genes. That is why it looks like a male lion.
Among the lions, only the males defend their territories from the opponents on whom the whole group depends. Because the mammography looks like a male, opposing males who want to occupy their territory will think twice before attacking.
If the Mamoriri group could expand its territory due to this misunderstanding, it might be able to ensure the survival of these tigers. This change in genes has given rise to a new and deceptive type of synthesis.
5. Orchid mantis
Not only are there countless winged insects in the forests of Malaysia, but there are also countless hunters who take advantage of them as a feast. This means that if these insects are to be eaten, they will have to be as fast as lightning so that they cannot be easily caught.
But these insects, which escape the jaws of predators, cannot stay away from these brightly colored flowers, whose flowers and sap they love so much.
The Orchids cover their whole body in a beautiful and deceptive disguise. Disguised as a flower, with its sharp eyes and deadly blows, these mints are among the most cunning and dangerous predators in the world.
But this 'fake flower' has more features. Growing mints should be eaten every two days as they cannot wait as long as flowers. For a successful attack, an insect has to come within reach.
Ever since naturalists discovered this species in the nineteenth century, they have doubted the secret of the success of this mint, especially since it is even more popular than the flower it imitates.
Scientists now realize that this is many times more than copying. Because the attractiveness of a flower attracts insects, it not only makes its shape more attractive than the real flower but also brightens the color.
Once trapped in these traps, it becomes impossible to escape.
