σύνεσις is what Jesus had:
And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding [συνέσει ] and his answers (Luke 2:47 ESV).
and animals do not have:
Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding [σύνεσις ], which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you (Psalm 32:9 ESV).
