      They can be even more clever, but only in particular ways. For example, Chimpanzees seem to be better at remembering a sequence of numbers than humans are. Check out this link where there are some videos you can watch http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7124156.stm.

      And some birds that store nuts in the ground can where they put hundreds and hundreds of individual nuts – more than a human could remember without writing drawing a map.

      But apart from the isolated examples here or there, humans are probably the most intelligent animals, and we have the biggest brains.
