I think scientists try to figure this out all the time, that's why we see headlines about dogs or dolphins or octopuses (octopodes?) being as smart as toddlers. We used to think pigs were dumb, but now we know they are quite intelligent. So I don't think there is a definitive answer to your question yet.
