This week we’re discussing the most intelligent creatures the animal kingdom has to offer. We’ll be looking at mankind’s attempts to communicate with apes, plus we’ll be looking at a very intelligent horse (Clever Hans) and a very intelligent octopus (Paul).

And in this episode we get more detail on Elis’ Christmas room, the lack of respect he receives from his cats and whether his simian-esque posterior could one day resolve some future war between man and ape. We imagine you’ll have questions or thoughts on this, so please do get in touch: hello@ohwhatatime.com
