It depends on how you define intelligence.

On another note, humans think too much. Imo.

We think but we don't think intelligently.

My mom is dead.

We do think intelligently, but more often we think like idiots.

We use our intelligence to be idiots, more exact.

Depends on how you look at it.

More on topic, aside from several species already mentioned, crows also display interesting abilities to use tools and such.

Precisely. But you cannot forget about the merits of mankind, even though they are few compared to the blunders.

That is because people have been thinking for you.

Yes I saw a documentory on crows in Japan (Seems like everyone is smart over there lol). And the crows main source of food was these really hard nuts. And guess what they did? They couldn't break it open with their beak OR claw, so they flew up and up to the traffic lights. Then they would just stand there, waiting and waiting. When a car comes, it would drop the nut, breaking it for a bit. But the car would then run over the nut, breaking it entirely. The crow flies down and gets the core and flies away.

Smart!

I think orangutans or chimpanzees are pretty smart. But of course it depends on what you mean smart, like is it smart at communicating, eating or foraging? Ants are really smart in all of those and yet they're so tiny!
