<font color="blue">Also, why do you think the difference in lion and wolf sociality is related to intelligence? </font>
Good question, I just assume the more social the species, the more intelligent, but in hindsight, that's probably not correct. Most likely, the more COMMUNICATIVE a species, the more intelligent, right? If wolves need to communicate with each other in order to hunt, that requires a degree of intelligence that say, a zebra doesn't have. That's also why I think carnivores tend to be more intelligent than herbivores. Anything that requires the thoughtfulness of hunting, requires intelligence.
Other social creatures such as apes, dolphins, etc., are considered more intelligent, wouldn't you say?
