I've seen an experiment in which pigs controlled an object on a screen, using a 'joystick', by controlling it with their snout. It certainly looked as if they were demonstrating a level of intelligence.

I read about that study as well, it's what I was thinking of when I made the previous comment! Cool stuff! Do you have a link by any chance?

All I know is that it was a TV programme in the UK; sorry, I know that's not very useful!
