Peanut-size Brain?
Not unless the peanut is very large and weighs 11 to 13 pounds (5-6 kilograms)! Contrary to popular belief, the elephant�s brain is not small. In fact, it is the largest brain of any land mammal. It looks like a human brain, highly folded and convoluted with distinctive lobes. But it makes up less of the animal�s mass than ours does. For humans, the ratio of brain to body weight is 1:50. For elephants it�s 1:800.
The saying that elephants never forget seems to be true; most elephants have an excellent long-term memory and have been known to hurl stones at a keeper months after he fed the elephant foul-tasting medicine.
Elephants score a high 104 on one intelligence-measuring test, while boars rate a 14, dolphins 121, and humans 170.
