Other animals besides man are often consider to not be intelligent life merely because they do not build skyscrapers, computers or build aircraft. This is a silly notion indeed. As they are highly adapted to their environment and they do not need these things. Why would they? What good is a computer when you are a Chimpanzee hanging out all day with your friends in the tree tops eating your favorite fruit, having sex and just enjoying life? Consider that for a moment.

Now tell me who has the easier life, both man and chimps are at the top of their food chains and for chimps besides mankind they really have no serious enemies they cannot deal with, other than their own wars with neighboring troops or hungry guerillas occasionally. Awe but you say they are unintelligent?

Well hey now, let us be fair to the animal which is extremely adapted for its environment already, what we teach it is often silly and not needed. Generally higher order mammals or species with long evolutionary periods are fully adapted to their niches. The designated boundaries are clearly defined and those problems have been solved, what can we possibly teach them of any value that nature has already taken care of? They do not need to build houses, as they bodies are adapted to the climate. Many times they do not need tools or to make them as they have claws and adapted bodies, which suffice enough to get them what they need [food, shelter, safety from predators]. Consider all this in 2006.
