The more intelligent an animal is, the more he likes to tease humans

There seems to be an "arms race" between people and some animals. They are looking for ways to overcome the pitfalls set by humans.

Crows are one of the smartest species in the world. So is the mouse, and the American cat bear (the raccoon itself) is the same.

But do you know what these 3 animals have in common? Not only intellectually, they are also the best disruptive . hands. The mouse is out of the table. As for cat and raven, many times people have to scratch their heads because of their ability to steal the supernatural. Ignore is a bit of misery.

Do not understand he robbed or stolen.

The problem is that these two factors are closely related. According to a recent study in Animal Behavior magazine, experts have tried to see what intelligence is related to some species constantly trying to confront and poke humans.

The answer is yes, although this is somewhat paradoxical because they will encounter many risks in survival.

In particular, research has shown that some species such as rats are getting smarter. They have adapted to survive in parallel with humanity in cities, and have even overcome many of the human-made pitfalls.

"For species that are able to adapt to problems that arise, it is like an" arms race "with people. One side thinks of new traps, the other side adapts, passes to exists " - Lauren Stanton, Ph.D. of zoology at Wyoming University (USA) said.

In many places, monkeys become . youkai, stealing things from people all day.

When Americans invented trash cans that prevent digging animals, the cat and parrot kea (a parrot species in North America) gradually learned how to open that type of trash. Keeping elephants around the electric fence in the zoo, they find a way to disconnect the power. And in some places, monkeys become superhuman handcuffs, rats dig artfully in garbage, while crows are ready to . steal your credit card.

To conduct the study, the team has examined a number of cognitive abilities - including the ability to learn, memorize, reflex and solve problems. They then compared them to acts of human disturbance in animals, such as hunting animals, destroying property, stealing, and even attacking people.

From here, experts split some sort of animal personality. They realized that some animal traits, plus society had "expanded" so large that they increased the rate of encounter with humans. In particular, the more intelligent the animals are, the easier it is to disrupt us.

Do you guys do it?

Take the crows, for example. They have a great memory, so it is possible to know where food is available - for example, when people collect garbage. Fearlessness urges them to find food in densely populated places. And the picking behavior makes it easy to fall into the situation of confronting people - such as stealing our food for example.

"The population of people is increasing rapidly, our living places have to expand, and that makes the proportion of people - animals touching high," added Benson-Amram, the study author.
