Prepare for your mind to be blown!
Moritz is a pig from Germany who is a puzzle-solving, and piano playing genius.
He received fame on YouTube when his owner/caretaker posted a video of him solving a pig puzzle. As his human gives him a puzzle with three colors on it- yellow, blue and red, Moritz has to match the colors in their respective slots. Little Moritz grabs each puzzle piece by the pig-friendly rope that attaches to it and effectively solves the entire puzzle in under 1 minute!
There is ever-growing research on the intelligence of pigs, and according to Neuroscientist Lori Marino of Emory University and The Nonhuman Rights Project:
“We have shown that pigs share a number of cognitive capacities with other highly intelligent species such as dogs, chimpanzees, elephants, dolphins, and even humans. “There is good scientific evidence to suggest we need to rethink our overall relationship to them.”
Watch Moritz truly impress you in the video below, and prove how smart pigs really are:
If you thought Moritz’s puzzle skills are impressive, watch him play a short version of Silent Night on the piano!
