Manatee also has intelligence

In 1902, a scientist used the word " idiot " to describe the manatee and confirmed that they had a brain with a smooth surface similar to the brains of idiots. Since then the manatee called the " sea ​​cow" is considered a large marine mammal all day that only grazes underwater.

Tests in the Hugh's manatee lab in Florida (USA) have proven that this animal has intelligence. It is capable of detecting the sounds of the sea, for example emanating from the propeller of a ship. Other tests show that its brain activity is complex.

According to study author Roger Reep of Florida Veterinary School, inside the boar brain is similar to the brains of other animals. It does not seem abnormal or missing. All cells are in the right place.

Studies have noted that the sight of manatees appears to be limited although they can distinguish colors, a rarity in mammalian marine animals. Testing on the brain also proves that they are capable of remembering journeys and drinking water sources.

Scientists have been wrongly thinking that the brain has grooves similar to the brains of dolphins and people are signs of intelligence.
