Oh man, way too many to choose from. Off the top of my head, I’m just gonna say cats, gorillas, and elephants.

All these are super smart but like

- cats are way more empathetic than given credit for and my cat is the sweetest, most caring person I know

- so when you teach gorillas sign language, turns out they’re just giant three-year-olds who have likes and dislikes, moods, fears, wants and loves. Watch Coco the gorilla on YouTube and I dare you to tell me she’s not the most precious thing

- so there was this one elephant that picked up trash after people when no one was looking and was caught throwing it into the garbage when no one was looking. Plus, elephants have culture. Which is just mindblowing
