I read this story, "Animal Minds," by Virginia Morell, in an old National Geographic Magazine at my boyfriend's parent's house. It is from the March 2008 issue and it was incredibly interesting.
Highlights:
- Alex the parrot asks to go to his tree and gets sassy with the other birds when they can't pronounce words correctly.
- Betsy the dog (pictured above) knows 340 words and learns new ones at the same rate as a toddler. I am so getting a shepherding dog when the time comes...
- Betty the crow makes and uses tools to get food.
- Dolphins are just crafty as hell.
