The cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is a cunning creature, it uses a clever strategy to evade sharks. it can also count

Some other animals also know maths. Ants and Asian elephants can solve rudimentary problems that require counting.

What is interesting is that at least one plant, the Venus flytrap, also knows how to count.

For Darwinists, animal intelligence is an enormous dilemma, and plant intelligence even more so.

But in a created world we would expect animals and plants to show evidence of intelligence..

A recent research also points out that the cuttlefish passed the marshmallow test that displays if an animal could delay gratification.
