Still Waters Posted January 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Testing animals' ability to solve new problems has been historically conducted on animals in captivity. Only recently has a shift been made to run these tests on animals in their natural habitat. In a study appearing in Animal Behaviour, however, researchers at Michigan State University found vast differences in the problem solving skills between captive and wild spotted hyenas. http://phys.org/news...-relatives.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmpleFyre Posted January 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Perhaps it's only speculation by my part, but it seems only natural that a living thing, which has its' lifestyle inhibited in any fashion, would become more intelligent to overcome the imposed limitations.
