Are the animals and insects cleverer than humans?

Nice question . They are clever for their "rank" in nature, there is no point to compare them with humans. May be in a way they are cleverer because don't destroy what they've build and don't spoil the environment they are living in.

Very interesting insect. Well on the globe there are different species of animals, birds and insects - they are all very important and each one contributes to the nature in his own way and each one is individual from another.

animals have no way to be smarter because not possessing the rationality qualities characteristic of human being! But animals are more united and caring towards their lives and his fellow! an animal never going to be a suicide when a man yes! this situatuie could mean that the animal deserves to have more rationality than a human!
