While they have a some what dopey expression I think they are quite intelligent. I got one of my little ones out the other day and put it on a paper towel on my bed and put my hand out like a high 5 about 1ft away and a few seconds later it looked up and jumped to my hand, I put it back on the bed and it kept doing it about 5 times in a row

I wound't say that any amphibians are 'intelligent' in the same way as humans (supposedly) are

But they certainly have learned behaviours and can be conditioned to perform certain actions. They have a different brain to us so whilst they don't have our higer brain functions they still learn and adapt to changing environments..

But..yes. They are more intelligent than some people I deal with..
