  Let's talk science.
• 7:33
  Recent research reveals fascinating insights into animal intelligence and behavior.
• 7:39
  Crows can count, matching the numeracy skills of young children.
• 7:44
  Other studies highlight advanced behaviors in animals like rats, gorillas, dolphins, and elephants.

  Notably, finches have a pre-verbal stage similar to human babbling, and a wild orangutan used
• 7:57
  medicinal plants for a wound.

  Dogs show problem-solving skills comparable to human ADHD traits, and some birds and mammals

  display complex co-parenting behaviors.

  These findings enhance our understanding of animal cognition and its parallels to human behavior.

  And in entertainment news, the ongoing fallout from the actor's strike has left the box office

  industry to navigate a fragile period of recovery.
