What is your definition of smart? Smarter than what? A rock? Amoeba?\nAbility to make controlled sounds that could be used in oral communication? Dolphins.\nAbility to manipulate the environment with one's extremities? Chimps.\nSocial behaviour? It's a draw.\nKilling of members of the same species? A draw again.\nAbility to change the environment, produce artifacts and a lot of rubbish. Neither. \n\nIt all depends on your questions.

Apes and humans.  As opposed to feathered bipeds, birds.

yes they are aroused, but not by the same things as us. Yes they have the same mechanical processes as we do for an orgasm.  Although I'm sure they don't have the emotional hangups that we do.  And dolphins aren't the only other animals that have sex for recreation.  There is a primate called the Bonobo that pretty much has sex all the time. Male-female, same sex, masturbation....whatever, they don't care.

Because in that time, monkeys are often thought to be the smartest animal alive.

Neither. Just a very aggressive monkey who has been taught basic speech skills.

Every animal has a language, whether visual or verbal. Think about the hundredth monkey theory.

Man, I was going to say chimps, because they're the only other species that has invented computers.  I guess you're right then.

Yes, if you know how to speak in thier "language". Dolphins are alot smarter than we are. You can 'speak" to any animal if you know how to "listen" to them. You"listen" by watching thier actions, facial expressions, body language, and by listening to the different sounds they make.

We don't know that humans are the only creatures that can think deeper.  There's evidence that whales are quite intelligent.  Not to mention there's an awful lot of universe out there to contimplate.

This question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.\n\nThat being said...\n\nA monkey is a primate with a tail (easiest way to tell). There are also other differences like smaller brain capacity.\n\nA chimpanzee is one of the Great Apes (also includes gorillas, etc.). Great apes do not have tails, have a larger brain capacity, often use tools (e.g. a stick for getting at termites, etc.), and can learn to use complex language.

Dolphins have the vocal capabilities to talk like humans and communicate with us. It's true.

Actually  i have five trained Monkeys typing for me! 3 of them think up all the answers. Banana Boy ask the questions! And Cherry Chimp is currently stealing you identity, so she can download porn of the Internet.\n\nFrom Arnold Ape! (The methamphetamine monkey!)\nP.S   Got and ICE?

a Capuchin, possibly? Although, its not an ape, its a monkey. An ape beginning with C is a Chimpanzee.

Well, on this Earth, primates are the ancestors of the only known sentient species.  I don't know that these means that humans are the 'best' species, even if we are (arguably) the most intelligent.\n\nIf the human evolutionary path is any indication, there may be some prerequisites for the development of sentience.  A large brain is the most obvious one, but things such as free and mobile appendages suitable for tool use may also be required.  As far as bats go, they are limited in the size that their brains can grow to and still be able to maintain flight.  Their forelimbs are also not readily available for manipulatory organs.  \n\nSo a sentient bat species would probably be unlikely.  The ecological niche of intelligent species would probably go to a different species that already displays some of these adaptations to some extent.\n\nMice are a remote possibility for potential sophonts.  They can achieve a semi-bipedal stance and use their forepaws for some remarkable manipulations.  Their current small size is their chief impediment.  Increasing body and brain size to an extent to make them candidates for sentience would also slow them down, remove their stealthiness and ability to fit into tight spaces, and many of the other adaptations that allow them to survive in a world full of predators.\n\nOther than the great apes, I think one of the major candidates for potential for sentience is the racoons.  They are already pretty smart, near the top of the food chain, versatile, adaptable, omnivorous, and curious, and have very well developed forepaws with perhaps the highest level of manual dexterity of any mammal outside the primates.  \n\nI seem to recall a novel by Stephen R. Boyett called 'The Architect of Sleep' in which a man goes to a parallel universe where racoons evolved sentience instead of the primates.  It seemed to be an aquel (a book that fails to spawn the expected series of sequels), but if I remember correctly it was quite intriguing.\n\nAnother intriguing species with curiosity, adaptability, intelligence and manipulative abilities that I think would make an interesting candidate for the development of sentience are some of the large cephalopods (like the giant Pacific octopus, Humboldt's squid or even the giant squid!!)  - imagine the society they might create.

Sharks are fish and Dolphins are mammals. They have no scientific relationship, totally different species.

A monkey (eg baboon, macaque, tamarin) has a tail. A chimpanzee, which is an ape, does not have a tail\n\nOther types of apes are: gorillas, orangutans and gibbons

Chimpanzees don’t like to be in water and usually cannot swim.\nHowever it has been said that Chimpanzees will attempt to do new things. Even though they avoid large bodies of water, some will try to swim. Chimps avoid water at all costs and are usually unable to swim unless extremely excited.♥
