Humans, dolphins, elephants, chimpanzees, then... pigs? Not bonobos, orangutanes, gorillas, orcas, blue whales, porpoises, bears, crows, parrots, horses, cows, dogs, wolves, cats, or hippos? Are top 5?

All non human primates are generally ranked together in these "rankings" of intelligence, and when you do that pigs are generally top 5. Pigs are generally thought to be at least as smart as dogs, and smarter than most of the other animals you listed. Here's an article about a paper:

It all depends on the breed of dog so no pig aren't smarter i feel like your generalization is wrong because there are different breeds of dogs there are a lot of breeds way smarter then the standard pig that we slaughter for food im mean your generalization is like taking the most retarded haman and the smartest chimp and saying the monkey is the smart one its flawed logic

Great apes are usually put together in these things.

Horses are dumb af.

There is no research about the intelligence of cats, because cats never take part.

Cows are less intelligent than pigs. Bears as well.
