Are Mice Intelligent. Compared to the size of a mouse, that is actually quite a lot. Amazingly, by changing a single gene within a mouse, scientists have recently created mice that are much smarter and more intelligent than ordinary mice.
They learn faster than dogs or primates and their intelligence is compared to that of a three year old child. Mice are small rodents who, unbeknownst to the human race, are the most intelligent species on the planet earth. It is thought that mice empathise with other mice.
