What if animals had a brain?

Animals are expendable organisms that cannot make their own food. There are between 9-10 million species, of which only 800 000 species are identified, and some in freshwater. The land contains the lowest number of animal species and animals vary in size. There are micro-organisms, whose body consists of a few cells, and animals are weighing many tons, such as the blue whale. Most animals are side-by-side, few are radically identical, and primitive animals are asymmetric.  But What if animals had a brain?

It is, however, very difficult to make a speculative conjecture, as the defining characteristic for determining and measuring intelligence from one species to another is usually obtained by comparing the overall brain/body mass ratio. However, since you said that they were just "as smart" and not sensitive or intelligent, I suppose that would leave us relatively unaffected in some cases.

To answer this question we need to think about the selective pressure on wildlife: encroaching on their territory, reducing their habitat and food sources, pollution of the environment, hunting, trapping, etc. The wildlife that survives is so great that you have to be smarter and smarter. That they can think as we do enough to cope with the pressures we have imposed on them.

what would happen if all animals were as smart as us?

Large brains correspond to higher energy requirements, especially for endothermic organisms such as mammals and birds. Evolution has always been a kind of "arms race", intelligence being one of the most sought after weapons. Predators learn better hunting tactics and prey learn new defensive strategies such as counterattacks using numbers.

Predators would need to hunt much more frequently than today. There is a good chance that they end up competing with other predators with even more ferocity. Prey animals always tried to stay ahead of their predators to ensure their survival.

As for us; we might have ended up relatively untouched. As the only organisms to have conquered fire, which all animals tend to, fear instinctively, it could have provided us with some kind of survival advantage; confined to simply watching the shadows while the rest of the world leads a war of survival against hunters.
