A whale in a landsuit would be hilarious, actually. Or an octopus in one. Think of Futurama's reverse scuba suit.

Also, parrots are highly intelligent as far as animals are concerned, solving logical problems with the reasoning skill of a human child. Crows are also up there, making tools, learning from observation and sharing information in groups.

I've returned from the depths to continue politely irritating the good people of Tv Tropes.(◕‿◕✿)

^ Also, crows can reason about information that others might know.

A brown hyena would be a great option. Brown hyenas are the most intelligent mammals within Carnivora, as smart as some primates.

Brown Hyenas? You sure you don't mean Spotted, because those are intelligent, at least as far as Carnivora goes.

I'll throw my vote in for crows. They're damn smart (they use tools and have languages), aren't overdone like primates and owls, and are more workable than aquatic animals like dolphins and octopi.

An owl, or a fox.

[up] Restating what has been said already, owls are actually pretty stupid compared to seagulls and and corvids, such as crows, ravens, and jays. They just look intelligent.

A civet, personally watched the aftermath after one broke into a chicken coop.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

[up][up] Not to mention that foxes are immensely stupid when compared to spotted hyenas.
