What kind of animal represent smart caritoristics?

Homo Sapiens - ie you.

because you are smart enough to ask wikianswers for the answerto this question.

In fact, only humans seem smart enough to set each other questions to answer.

However, if you don't include human beings, I believe chimpanzees show thegreatest intellect. They can carry out mathematical problems and an be taught maths. They can be taught sign language and have even invented Words for new objects by assigning compound Words containg abstract thought. Pretty clever beasts when they are given an education.

Even in the wild, they design and make tools for over 25 different uses.
