the complete story)
| "Whole new angle as reported on dailygrail.com: "Prairie dogs found to talk using the most sophisticated language in the animal kingdom.

| "As sophisticated as prarie dog communication is, it should be noted that the information content contained in the dance of regular honey bees is just as remarkable:

The act of creating or forming a language either requires that the users be extremely intleigent, or that the langauge is pre-programmed. (i.e. instinct, computer code, etc.

| "Pigs were taken to the US primate research centre and proceeded to play complex computer games with abstract logic to receive food.When the primate researchers stated the pigs were trained, they were asked to source their own pigs.The new pigs watched the game once then proceeded to work through all the increasingly difficult and visually different games to receive food.No dog or primate was able to display the math intelligence of a pig." (Simon V 3/7/2009 6:57:51 PM) |
| "Praire dogs can recognise individual humans by name, also what they are dressed in and the color, what direction they are coming from and whether they are running or casually walking.Also what object they are carrying and if they are appearing aggressive or just sociable.They can relay this information back to the pack."
