Yeah I was noticing that there were some gaps in the scale of "intelligence" of the animals chosen here.

The obvious ones being elephants, dolphins and some whales, and a few species of birds, all of whom exhibit cognitive abilities that overlap into the human range in at least some areas. On the other hand I was impressed to see Octopi and Pigs included because most people don't realize just how smart those 2 can be
