That can be told not to and will deliberately ignore the warning. >

If someone needs to tell you to not look at the sun, then it's not a species, it's individual's fault for not understanding that >

Didn't mean to imply that all members of the species need to be told, but every time there's an eclipse, they put out warnings cause there are always people dumb enough to blind themselves trying to look at it. >

Intelligent in what aspects? It’s speculated that Orcas have more emotional intelligence than humans, as that part of their brain is larger and with more connections. Dogs can smell better than us, and that part of their brain is more developed too. Intelligence has many facets. Most animals are more intelligent than us in some way… you could say we are overall the most intelligent though.
