What do you mean it was hyperbole?
We've sent a man to the moon and got him back safely, the next closest accomplishment by any other species that has ever existed on this planet would be the use of sharpened tools and that was still from our own lineage. Besides that we see only basic tool use, mimicking and highly controversial evidence of very basic language.
Okay I may not be well versed on this topic but saying that no species is even remotely close to our level of intelligence is not a hyperbole in any sense.
