You seem to be saying that unless an animal lives in a group it isn`t intelligent, then you state reptiles are (mainly) driven by instinct, not learned behaviours (unless I misunderstood)? One example; would you say a (male) tiger is not as intelligent as "social" mammals, because male tigers are solitary animals the majority of the time (as are very many other of course?
It`s almost impossible to get through to someone who has such a closed mind onn the topic, you`ve decided you have everything worked out, nothing will change your opinion, so you never gain more knowledge on said topic....
Once again, because you`ve decided what "intelligence" is, if it doesn`t fit into your very narrow definition, it`s rejected!?
In fact, what is your definition of "intelligence"??
Is it the following:
"They aren`t social, therefore, they act (mainly) on instinctive behaviour"....
"They don`t "speak" in ways I (meaning you) can understand, therefore, they have no language"... Etc, etc...
You`ve lost me; my instinct tells me you cannot (don`t really want to understand)!
Did you watch the "Lizard Kings" video, and visit venomdoc.com?
