Cows

Cows, often seen in herds, encourage social grouping that boosts their intelligence. Studies indicate that calves in groups adapted to the change faster than those kept alone.

Female Mule Deer

Female mule deer are dedicated babysitters! These females defend all nearby fawns when a predator approaches, even for those of a different deer species, confronting the threat themselves.

Coyotes

Coyotes and badgers form unlikely alliances and team up to corner their prey. While the coyote gives chase, the badger takes over if the prey burrows.

Killer Whales

Killer whales learn new tricks and also teach them. At a sea park, an orca used fish chum to attract seagulls, then shared the tactic with other orcas.

Rhesus Monkeys

A 1964 study revealed that rhesus monkeys chose to starve for 12 days rather than pull a chain for food once they realised it would shock another monkey.

Elephants

Elephants communicate using over 70 vocal sounds and 160 visual and tactile signals, including “Let’s go” to “Help, I’m lost.” Their low-frequency calls travel miles through the forest, allowing them to connect from a vast distance.
