Discover the surprising cognitive abilities of creatures across the animal kingdom, from the incredible problem-solving skills of chimpanzees to the self-awareness of octopuses. Learn about the unique intelligence of dolphins, elephants, crows, and many more amazing species.
Researchers have discovered that carrion crows possess the remarkable ability to count out loud between one and four. This is the first time animals have been definitively shown to count using distinct vocalizations. The findings suggest that crows have numeracy skills similar to human toddlers, leveraging an approximate number system shared by humans and animals. These novel insights provide valuable evidence for vocal counting abilities in the animal kingdom.
