Which are smarter, cats or dogs? We asked a scientist

Показать описание
It’s a debate we can never seem to settle: Are cats smarter? Or are dogs? Dogs learn and respond to commands; cats usually don’t. But cats are cunning hunters with a boundless curiosity.
To settle this debate, PBS NewsHour posed the question to three scientists — a neuroscientist, a dog cognition expert and a cat behavior and cognition researcher. When one of these scientists counted the brain cells in these animals, there was a clear winner. Even with this victory, the latest behavioral research on animal intelligence challenges all of the old-school notions of what it means to be smart.
