http://www.earthtouchnews.com Are dolphins some of the most intelligent animals on earth? In this HD video, we take a look at their complex social structures and sophisticated communication strategies – which they use to their advantage during South Africa’s famous Sardine Run.

Cherry Chapstick hello
This us something my boyfriend and I discussed. I am a classically talentedtrained musician. Music speaks volumes. I learned to read music a foriegn language watch the conductor and listen to the cues from other musicians. It ain't easy. But it speaks.
Dolphins are genuinely evil.
Dogs have real jobs ..police .army ..bomb and drug detectors.guard your home protect your family.even play catch you..pump yo brakes kids
Well obviously they re the most intelligent creatures of the world and we human beings are also mammals so obviously they are well they are intelligent in practicality and fir survival especially their tricks of catching their pretty even dolphins have saved many human lives and the way keep them safe and other animals rescued from their predators is undoubtedly genius
If you make a destinction between creativity and mimicing you also have to do it for humans.
Theres a lot of humans that have good verbal skills, so they sound smart, but they only use a lot of words and cant actually think.
You cant compare dolphins to humans in general. Because unlike political correctness lets you believe, a single species like the bottlenose dolphin is a lot more homogeneous than humans. If you would ignore poltical correctness and study humans the way you studied animals, you would never place an african pymie and a northern european or a chinese in one species.
The "Inventiveness" of humans is just not present in many populations. They dont invent anything and they can put on a suit and read a teleprompter, but that doesnt mean they are smart.
Likewise within the European population there is only a minority that actually is inventive.
So therefore cut the dolphins some slack, even if they only mimic, so do most "homo sapiens".
im interested in what research this is that says that their behavior is mimicking?
Couldn't we use their intelligence to solve ike math problems? Or are they not "intelligent" in that way?
The main goal of humans is to prove someone or something is not intelligent. Just like how Europeans branded rest of the world as not intelligent or as uncivilized etc etc. This way you can brand what you see as unintelligent as inferior or different from you. This makes rest of the people thing it's alright to subjugate something that's unintelligent. Just like how most Europeans thought enslaving non-whites was reasonable, coz for them non-whites were less than humans. Even with Dolphins if you call them intelligent, people would oppose eating them. Call them as creatures mimicking things for treats, you can eat them.
If dolphins are so intelligent, why haven't they applied to Harvard?
Humans: 1 Dolphins: 0
Humans are earths most intelligent animals.
Their brain looks eerily similar to human brains.
Dolphins use 20 percent of there brains as we only use 10 .
Humans are animals too, you know.
no human will ever be able to learn everything about any wildlife creature. As we evolve so are they and things are changing everyday…JacqUES Costeau even said they might be even more intelligent than humans in their own particular ways. Just because we are HERE and theyre down there doesnt mean we are superior
what about octupus? its been known theyre very intelligent
Why is there so many people on high horses on these kinds of videos? It is what it is, get over it.
"by looking at their brains we have determined they have self-awareness" any action that is taken by an organism to sustain its own survival is proof of "self awareness". A lot of vague, unscientific notions being throw about in this video…
We only know 3% of our own brain, so to judge animals based on our definition of intelligence is unintelligent.
keep ding this and you might get a budget to get money to do this
thank this is what I need
nope, humans jk
So many dolphins pooping.
We humans always assume that dolphins communicate by sound because that's the way WE do and it seems so likely that a creature with such highly developed sound processing capabilities MUST communicate that way. But what if there are methods of communication that we dismiss just because WE can't do it ourselves yet. After all dolphins have been evolved tens of millions of years longer than humans.
Humans have hands to help us develop the machines we use for sending our mental messages. Perhaps dolphins, not having hands, used their brains to develop methods far more efficient that any machine could ever be. Like telepathic methods?
It seems hard for us to believe because we just aren't there yet.
But give us another 20 million years to catch up and we might arrive ourselves, if our reliance on machines to do it for us, does not prevent us.
But would our human arrogance ever allow us to consider we are not leading the evolutionary race on this planet?
You don't need extreme intelligence to swim around and catch fish. In order to develop intelligence you need to be put under enormous pressure and be able to manipulate nature. You need arms and ability to rearrange things in the environment for intelligence to kick in.
so long, and thanks for all the fish!!
It's being in the right place at the right time.
There are several researchers currently doing work, however I feel they are mired in old methods that have been tried for the past 30+ years with practically no success/breakthroughs. I fear they are only doing it to keep grant money coming and to stay employed. Otherwise newer/different methods would be being used that would lead to rapid success.
Great educational resource.
They are very gentle towards people, but man are they messed up to each other.
How does one get involved in that sort of research? What's your story?
i love dolphins ? -.-
I don't have to look at the video to answer this question….No, they are not the smartest, cause if they are, some of us will be in zoos for display and entertainment.(na Jking, they are the smartest, they control the entire ocean which is far larger than land, I've seen their secret labs and ufos in their deep ocean bases)
no
But language can be broken down into frequencies. If you pick the electrical signals of a person speaking Japanese on a phone line, you will notice that it has a certain characteristics that is universal to all languages. Why can't you apply the same thing to dolphin language? I think this is outside the realm of biologists but within the realm of physicists, statisticians and phoneticians. Good luck anyway, I hope you make a breakthrough.
I think there is a lot of confusion over that. From what I have seen, their 'language' is different from their 'sonar imaging". I do not think they use 'sonar imaging' as a language but more as we would a "video recording". They are both forms of communication by are not really cross compatible. Some current research is trying to use sonic imaging as a language but IMHO it will not work. The real problem in communicating with Cetaceans is *frequency* and not so much *language*.
Is there any evidence that their language is actually sono-pictorial? If so what are the evidences? I know that all language when graph (frequency of words vs words) produce a negative gradient line unlike a random selection of words which would be an horizontal line. I've read that dolphin sounds have a negative gradient which indicates that they have a language. It there more research on this matter?
Now you could teach yourself to spell and then stop using the drugs.
I think Dolphins are more intelligent; but dogs are incredibly intelligent. Humans need to start to respect both these great species-they befriend us-we need to befriend them.
