This article caught my attention mostly because of the title. I’ve never really heard of any test done on reptiles before to determine their intelligence. It’s always been dolphins or apes or rats. I was curious about their findings.

They covered what specific animals they tested, what tests they used on them, how they did, and why. They had past test results and why they didn’t work which was nice to know. They also go in to the different kinds of tests for each animal and how it worked. They state how they changed the tests to fit reptile needs and how they act differently than mammals. I like how they include information from the different research and include their location of where they are working on it at. I like how they include results of the mammals that were considered smart and what they did to prove that in the opening because it was interesting.

I would like to know more about the different test and test results. Also, more in-depth information about how the brains of each animal work and learn.
