NOVA scienceNOW: How Smart Are Animals?

How well can we understand what’s going on in the brains of non-human animals? Do our pets have the same feelings we do? Wednesday at 8 P.m. on PBS-HD. by Colleen Greer

Would you care to match wits with a dog, an octopus, a dolphin, or a parrot? You may think twice after watching the segments in this NOVA scienceNOW episode. While we may not be ready to send pets to Harvard, the remarkable footage and findings presented here demonstrate that many animal species are much smarter than we assume and in ways we had never imagined.

Watch the full episode. See more NOVA scienceNOW.

Wednesday at 8 P.m. on PBS-HD.
