How Smart Are Animals?
Crows count, chimpanzees deceive, dolphins have grammar, and orangutans invent words. This course covers the latest scientific evidence on how intelligent nonhuman animals are, including dogs, cats, farm animals, dolphins, birds, and great apes. You give your pets the dog or cat intelligence test, and take field trips to a dog training center and the zoo.
This course is tentatively set to be offered on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m.
Note: Please check the schedule of classes for the most up-to-date information about meeting times, locations, and availability.
