The Smartest Animals In The World

Moray eels and groupers

Generally, fish aren’t considered to be the smartest of marine animals, but moray eels and groupers are an exception. Moray eels and groupers team up as a cooperative and efficient hunting team.

The grouper recruits the moray eel to a hunt by shaking and then performing a headstand to indicate where the prey is hiding in the coral. The moray eel then prises the prey out of the tight space and the grouper quickly catches it in the open ocean.
