Humans are not completely alone in this, of course, Corvidae (ravens, crows and the like) demonstrate problem solving skills much on the same level as many of the occupants on this message board. What they lack, dear friend, is thumbs.

true
also a good example is the one of owls
if owls notice in their habitat there is not much food around
they don't make eggs
because they are smart enough to know that when the egg comes out their young have no food and will die of hunger
so they wait till next year and re-evaluate the situation
