While I admire the effort to show that other animals are smarter than we give them credit for, I am not aware of any evidence that animals engage in asking questions. Despite teaching animals ways of communicating with us (such as sign language), animals do not ask us questions. This seems to be the defining characteristic of what it means to be human. People begin to ask questions almost as soon as they are able to. I think the sad reality is that these animals are in fact stupid.

Please correct me with a source if you find the above paragraph to be untrue.
PS: I still have a pipe dream that we will discover that orcas can ask questions.
