It's hard for scientists to prove the most intelligent animal.  Recently, a group of researchers found that orangutans are more intelligent than chimpanzees, instead of the other way around.  Another researcher suggested that dolphins are more intelligent than any primates except humans.  But I think that much more research will be needed for scientists to reach a agreement.
