Answers: ......other than human beings, I would have to say the primates or to be more specific, ... chimps. .... tell me your opinion.

Elephants, they have fantastic memory, highly convoluted brains & complex social life, and most scientists rate elephant intelligence above dolphins too. Elephants have low EQ, are family orientated, and have a low birth-to-adult brain ratio, indicating behavior is learned, not instinct (not the case with most other dolphins or animals). They live in family groups (except for the males who join later) run by a matriarch and her offspring, they use tools, they are altruistic, they grieve (they bury the dead, they pay homage, they cry), they self medicate (certain leaves that induce labor), other females help aid a birth and help raise a calf (all mothering), they show complex emotions (love, joy, sorrow etc), they understand semantics/syntax in captivity (Koko was the one studied), they have even unlocked padlocks with twigs etc to escape from zoos. They are even known to bury sleeping humans from tribes in Africa with twigs and branches and will guard over them till they wake up.

dogs

Elephants

Top 5 Intellegent Animals in This Order
Chimps
Dolphins
Mice
Pigs
and then suprisingly bees

1. Chimpanzee (two species)
2. Gorilla
3. Orangutan
4. Baboon (seven species, including drill and mandrill)
5. Gibbon (seven species)
6. Monkey (many species, especially the macaques, the patas, and the Celebes black ape)
7. Smaller-toothed whale (several species, especially killer whale)
8. Dolphin (many of the approximately eighty species)
9. Elephant (two species)
10. Pig

Dolphin

Tough one, there are creatures that have far more computing power than humans. Some mollusks are examples, they have very advanced brains and nervous systems. Cephalopods have the ability to control individual cells of their skin, changing properties for camouflage.
Yet only humans have mastered language and technology, and have been able to teach it to primates.
I think we have to define intelligence first.

Dolphins.

According to Edward O. Wilson, a behavioral biologist, the ten most intelligent animals are the following:

1. Chimpanzee (two species)
2. Gorilla
3. Orangutan
4. Baboon (seven species, including drill and mandrill)
5. Gibbon (seven species)
6. Monkey (many species, especially the macaques, the patas, and the Celebes black ape)
7. Smaller-toothed whale (several species, especially killer whale)
8. Dolphin (many of the approximately eighty species)
9. Elephant (two species)
10. Pig

I think it's pigs, followed by dogs..

it has to be dolphins, but there has been some research that showed that horses were more intelligent than dogs, cows I can tell you from experience are not clever

well dolphins are supossed to be inteligent, although you don't see them designing the latest software do you, or building fancy underwater cars??
