Talk:Hork-Bajir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Intelligence of a 4-year-old child??
It's been a while since I've read the books, but isn't that a bit of a stretch? Sure, they weren't particularly intelligent, but having the intelligence of a 4-year-old would make them barely even intelligent at all. And if this is actually stated somewhere in one of the books, I'm guessing the author had never met a real-life 4-year-old kid with average-level intelligence for their age. With the mind of the average 4-year-old, their memories would last weeks at the most--more likely one week, or even a few days--and doing multiple things at once (say, climbing a tree while looking around in directions besides up) would be nearly impossible. 64.12.116.12 03:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
It is indeed stated in one of the books; Tobias mentions it, and he knows the Hork Bajir better then the rest of the Animorphs, as he spends the most time with them. I think it's safe to assume he's right.
A Monkey is less intelligent then a four year old but they can climb and remember things just fine. No reason why a Hork Bajir couldn't either; KA Applegate once stated that they're smarter then Chimpanzees, but not as smart as humans... I forget exactly *where* she said that, I'm pretty sure it was in an "Ask KA" question back when that feature was still on the official Animorphs site.
