On this special tour, we head to the Uncanny County Museums Aviary where we will be joining our tour Guides, Xan and Joe as well as our special guest Michelle Cimino, for an in depth discussion regarding animal intelligence. In narrowing down this rather large scale topic, they examine the possibilities of collective intelligence within animal species as well as consider how we can measure the intellect of animals without necessarily projecting human traits onto them. All the while mentioning an octopus's shell collection, tool wielding corvids, and talking plants.
