There are tons of animals who have bigger brains, more "folds" yet you don`t see them memorizing to the extent of humans

I have been under the impression that the only animals now living whose brains are larger than that of humans are in the whale family. I don't know how one would go about assessing the memory capability of whales and dolphins.

Elephants have larger brains than humans, though smaller in proportion.
