I heard about this a while ago on the bbc wildlife magazine podcast. It shows that intelligence can take many forms, there is even an intelligent mold (source: http://discovermagazine.com/2009/jan/071)

Thanks for sharing :)

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour
