Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
animal are primal human analyze everything which can be good in some ways it keeps you out of trouble but in others it holds you back animal can freely do things because they don't think of consequences!. a lion freely kills a zebra because it has to eat to stay alive but if a human does this they are disgusting they are cannibals they are called ANIMALS!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because humans, unlike animals, ruin the earth a lot faster than other forms of life ((Not saying everyone, just some! I repeat, I'm not describing every member of the human race, just as a whole! I know, I don't really like it either, but oh well)) and we, for some reason don't adapt fast!. Basically, Animals learn, Some people, well, they don't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think most animals have no intelligence whatsoever!. some are smart and like you say smarter than probably a large number of humans, even though they might not have technology, like dolphins, they have no thumbs, live under water, and no way to have written language, so can't invent technology!.

so most animals are evolved to just act impulsively in what is sometimes a more enlightened type of behaviour than humans that are smart behave, because we have the ability to think about it and then make the wrong decision!. we are susceptible to greed and temptaion, and manipulation, propaganda, media influence all of those things!. whereas most animals only behave as nature evolved them to!.

that's why they are much more predictable than humans, and you can have people like crocodile hunter!. all the animals of a same specie behave almost all exactly the same, whereas humans are capable of such a large variety of behaviours!. we don;t evolve like they do!. except maybe right into extinction!. apparently intelligence is not so great for survival of the specie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Easy:

Stupid animals get hurt, then get eaten or die in other ways!.
They have no offspring to carry on their stupidity!. The percentage of stupid animals stays low or declines!.

Stupid humans get hurt, then sue and retire on the settlement!.
They also tend to have MANY offspring - too stupid not to!. The percentage of stupid humans increases!.

As humans, we coddle our stupid and make allowances for them so they can have "self-esteem!." We're not nearly as pitiless as nature is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your question is very vague BUT I seriously doubt that animals are more intelligent than humans!. We as humans have evolved to ask questions like these, can you any evidence among animals!.

There are examples in the animal kingdom showing some proof of intelligence eg 'Honey Bees', dogs etcWww@QuestionHome@Com

any animal has more emotional or rational intelligence than humans, they have just superior senses, instincts or mental agility!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
