I readed that the powerful Komodo Dragon have a intelligence as smart as a 6 years old child.
I don't think that monitor or Tegus are smarter than the other, it's hard to say whos the most intelligent.How do we calculate the intelligence of a reptile? Are they doing an I.Q test lol _________________ Ben3233

bubbasherps you've got to lay off on the smiley faces a bit it makes your posts really hard to read
I think 'tameness' is a very poor way to quantify intelligence. If that were the case, then hamsters would be smarter than adult chimpanzees, for there are a lot more tame hamsters in the world than adult chimpanzees. As for begging for food off people, that's not something exclusive to tegus. Monitors do that all around Australia. Lace monitors here in the eastern states, heath monitors in the south, yellow-spotted monitors up north and perenties in the centre. I've got videos on my youtube site of lace monitors descending on a picnic area in search of food.
Ben, anyone that compares the intelligence of a monitor to a six year old child probably hasn't spent much time around five year old children lately.

I think both monitors and tegus are great captives and both have intelligence. just pointing out personal experiances with both I just had better experiances with tegus

I agree with you Crocdoc, I do not think that a Komodo Dragon have an Intelligence of a 6years old child.
About the taming intelligence, I totally agree with your argument Angelrose!
Ah, and also jeff, I do not understand the point of the tegu begging. How does it look a Tegu that begs for food? _________________ Ben3233

Its a very interesting question, I am still thinking about it, how does researcher calculate the intelligence of every specimen on earth?
The way they communicated?
The way they found food or how they eat?
How they survived?
The relation between each other?
The relation between them and human?
If they dream?
If they thinking about their rationality (reason to live)?
If they make love instead of reproduction?
If they take care of their babies?
If we actually watch at discovery channel or other reports on animals, monkeys,dolphins and whales seems to be the most intelligent animals. But on another way, if we look at species who can survive throught many cataclysm or wars, rats and cockroaches would be in the top two.
However I guess I'll do a post discussing about finding the most intelligent animal on earth. Are you interested guys? _________________ Ben3233
