Animals: What we call "wise owls" is biologically ironic — owls…

Question

Did you know? What we call "wise owls" is biologically ironic — owls have very small brains for their body size. Crows and ravens, by contrast, have the highest intelligence among birds: they use tools, recognise themselves in mirrors, and plan for the future.

Wat we "wijze uilen" noemen, is biologisch ironisch — uilen hebben zeer kleine hersenen voor hun lichaamsgrootte. Kraaien en raven daarentegen hebben de hoogste intelligentie onder vogels: ze gebruiken gereedschap, herkennen zichzelf in spiegels, en plannen voor de toekomst.
