Read the passage and choose the answer for each question below.
We, humans, are used to thinking that our minds separate us from other animals. But new studies show that animals are quite intelligent and sensitive. Animal intelligence isn't found only in mammals. It can be found in other animals, such as birds.
Although we sometimes call people "birdbrains' as an insult, our feathered friends can be very smart. Some can solve puzzles. For example, ravens can untie knots. Some birds can use tools. Some crows, for example, use twigs as spears. Some birds can even use our language. An African Grey parrot named Alex does more than just imitate the human sounds. This parrot can name dozens of objects. It also seems to understand the ideas of "same", "different," and "amount".
Animals are able to feel emotion, too. This ability can be as painful for them as it is for humans. For example, some baboons live in groups where the leaders control them through fear. Low-ranking baboons can live in a constant state of stress. This stress can cause health problems, just as it does in humans. Some animals feel sadness when a family member dies. Elephants show interest even in decade-old elephant bones. Like humans, they are connected to each other in many ways.
