@PandaBamda Most female dolphins, like elephants, live in pods of extended female family members, children, and friends. They also have pod specific calls and sounds. That's pretty tribe like.
@anonymous732 I'm pretty sure the reason dolphins don't have the internet is because they don't really have the ability to manipulate their environment. Try building a computer with fins.... exactly, you can't.
@anonymous732 You need to analyze the intelligence of an animal with respect to their physical capabilities. Humans are specialized tool makers and our hands give us the ability to make those tools. Dolphins are remarkable partially because they seem to have a functional intelligence (puzzle solving) on par with humans despite the fact that they don't have the limbs to manipulate their environment with.
@anonymous732 Dolphins also have what seems to be at least a rudimentary language. They name each other and likely share a lot of information that's relevant to them as dolphins, such as the location of food sources and so on. Remember, dolphins also have a sonar system. They can construct visual images from sound, their own, and other dolphins, and sound travels at lot faster in water than in air. At certain depths, the sound can travel thousands of miles. So dolphins have an innate internet.
@maximusTLP There is nothing to suggest they are more intelligent. They probably impede into the realm of human intelligence but with different strengths and weaknesses tailored for their specific needs. They cannot manipulate their surroundings or their body very easily but socially they act very similar to humans and are probably more socially "intelligent".
@rorycalhoun27 Oh please, do not start with grammar. Either you don't have a shift/CAPS button, or your lack of intelligence enables you to not be able to capitalize the first letter in every sentence. :)
They will always be on the dinner plate? Hm, not when their extinct, but I'm sure you will come up with some excuse to even that.
@rorycalhoun27 It was a figure of speech. I don't care if you wear glasses or not, I was just stating an analogy that didn't have to be taken in at all seriousness.

So, I must of been being a little too optimistic about you, oops.
Enjoy the toxic meat while you can however, it will be banned in 40 years or so.
@rorycalhoun27 Because the "fisherman" herd them into a cove by using long metal poles from their boats and making loud sounds from them which disrupt their echolocation.(their vision) Imagine running from murderers, and they take your glasses away. You are blind without them. You can hear their footsteps so you attempt to run away from the footsteps. Then you end up at a cliff, and you realize they tricked you by making you run into a trap. Soon after, they slash you're throat. Your ignorant.
it is pretty amazing, but at the same time it makes you think on how advanced we are as a species.
we are amazed at a dolphin or elephant recognizing themselves, but we reshaped the world with advanced technology, and even made machines that took us to the moon, its pretty insane how ahead we are in terms of intelligence
I think dolphins are smart but stupid too. Maybe half of human intelligence and a quarter of my intelligence. I can make my reflection move as I stand still.
We discriminate against our own kind. It's no surprise that some people can't get past the fact that these intelligent beings look, speak, and live in an environment nothing like our own. They just see them as animals, smart fish, food source, etc...
@animelovingfreak Yes, of course that is technically true. But we don't refer to each other as such, and nor should we refer to dolphins as such. In many ways it is used as an insult.
I support the movement to elevate their status to "non-human persons".
@Jacen230 This does not appear to be the case. But forget what you and I think, what do the animal behavioralists and scientists think? It is agreed that their cognitive ability far exceeds that of birds.
@lormendi if we could talk to dolphins and have them understand us im sure explaining how to build a car or airplane or how the universe works would not escape there interlegence. Im sure they are smart enough to understand how its made and for what purpose but obvously there is language barrior. there so smart.
@lormendi Chimp in my city's Zoo can easily put together a Rubiks Cube. and the Zoo keeper allows us to shuffle the cube as much as we want and the Chimp just solves it easily
@lormendi They are still nowhere hear our level of intelligence. They probably are the most intelligent creatures on Earth next to us, but we are still far ahead of them.
@ASwiftHippie collectively ahead. imagine if another animal species lived for millions of years or passed along info to the children. it grows collectively. we are not so fast... we just pass stuff down and socialize much more than any species. its as if we are one animal living for centuries. we are ahead as a whole. other animals do not have a "whole". some do, but my point is just that we are way more collective. other animals like chimps are faster thinkers and memorizers than us.
@DjCosmicRush That's not true at all. What does collective thinking have to do with an individual learning...? You can try your whole life and you'll never get a chimp to understand theoretical physics. Our brains are more complex. Memory has little to do with intelligence. It is a contributing factor, but some of the smartest peope I know can't remember what they had for breakfast by noon.
Humans excel in creative abstract thinking. Something most animals lack completely.
@ASwiftHippie Sorry for the wrong info, I am partly just ranting because lately I've been realizing people are stupid. Not educationally stupid (that too tho) but for example people have trouble doing math. They constantly contradict themselves in reasoning but are unaware. I see people that waste their lives trying to "cope" with all these defense mechanisms like drugs, religion, food etc. I do think a lot of humans are smart but mostly socially. I think partly is bias based on my experience.
@DjCosmicRush Well, it is quite possible that human beings are getting dumber. Dumb people marry dumb people and have tons of kids while the more intelligent people go off to college and don't get married until later in life. Watch the movie Idiocray. Haha, I know its just a funny movie, but it makes a good point.
@ASwiftHippie Yeah! I saw that recently. I can't help to feel that it is already like that! lol. I can not tell if humans are getting stupider evolutionary but they are becoming conditioned to be unable to fully develop I guess. Sometimes I hate that I think differently because I constantly am aware of nonsense. Like gay vs straight when I'm pretty sure it is psychological/social and not really a condition. More like how you think TV is normal. You are not born with that. Sex pleasure yes tho
@DjCosmicRush Well, that's just one possibility and I'm not really sure that I buy it. I'm more inlined to believe that our culture is the problem. We have always been social creatures. We are most likely not getting dumber. Our culture and economy are just centered around entertainment and convenience instead of education.
We are imo every bit as smart as we ever have been, if not smarter. We are just aren't raised in the right environment. Asian countries, for example, have great education
@ASwiftHippie Yes. I think that we have halted our evolution by making life easier tho. I think it will take a long to show damage. Think of when a cave fish evolves to loose eyes cuz its not used! Oh god! lol. I think religion and culture are the biggest problems slowing down humans. It is strange to me that so many people care about the media and social parts of their lives. It is strange that humans think what they do is normal, like living in homes, tvs, relationships with exclusively 2 ppl
@DjCosmicRush Monogomy isn't exclusive to humans. There are several animals that mate for life. And any animal will find his surroundings "normal" if he is exposed to it long enough. Dogs find it normal. Cats find it normal. If some aboriginies move to Alaska and have children, their children won't know any different. It will be "normal." I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens to our species, but I'm optimistic. Perhaps genetic engineering will help us overcome this.
@ASwiftHippie Yes others have monogomy too. But I think it is a result of needing security. Securing sex and safety or not being alone. I really like the idea of genetic engineering humans. And with the normal thing, I think humans should be advanced enough to use logical reasoning and overcome norms and figure out what logically is the best decisions. We should keep debating! gaigelac @ gmail we can talk of theories and ideas
@ktchong Humans are not polygamous by nature either. We are simply pragmatic. Human babies require a lot of dedicated resources, which favors monogamy, but human women had a high chance of dying in child birth, which is why it is not necessarily beneficial to the species to be purely monogamous. People need the flexibility to find new mates if their current one dies.
@ASwiftHippie Social has almost everything to do with why humans are smart tho. I didn't mean collective thinking like how ants are sort of a collective mind. I mean we can learn socially. A lot of humans tho lack in abstract thinking. Formal operational is the stage of thinking that i mean. I think we have the same understanding but I think that I poorly communicated it. I know their are smart people with low memory. I have screwed up memory and I believe I am smart. Or delusional lol.
@lormendi didnt it take us thousands and thousands of years to make airplanes???? and i think animals have higher thinking than a lot of humans but humans are so socially driven. and we have some few different drives. we are smart as a whole, not as individual. even people like einstien werent THAT smart. just compared to others.
@Adominae Oh, come on. To say that a dolphin's intelligence couldn't possibly rival a human's doesn't mean someone hates dolphins, they're just being realistic. Let me know, by the way, once dolphins figure out space travel, for example - or start studying us in the same way we study them. They're intelligent animals, no one denies that, but they are not as intelligent as humans.
@ValgTheVicious VTV, There is a lot of stupid in some of the comments, and it certainly isn't coming from the dolphins.
When you can prove that dolphins are either less intelligent, more intelligent, or equally intelligent as humans I would love to hear how you arrived at your scientific conclusion. Until then it might be prudent to listen to what the scientists are finding, and not what we THINK is the truth.
~the real question is what do they think about being imprisoned in a bath tub only to perform tricks for their prison guards? ~None are free unless all are free~
@evilaj2010 ~yeah I would much rather seem them swimming free in the oceans where they belong instead of imprisoned in a bathtub only to suffer as a slave to human entertainemnt. use your head & watch these vids here on Youtube to learn more about dolphin captivity. " Dolphin Swim Programs & SLAUGHTER Linked!!!! " youtube ( . ) com ( / ) watch?v=ZCx0ORuDZFE Dolphins in captivity come from places like Taiji Japan. Again use your head.
@sngrmnsthsm Oh shut up! God can't you people forget for a minute if they're in a damn tank or not?! They display intelligent behaviours in the wild and captivity, and captivity does give scientists a better chance to study them. I'm not saying that is why they are in captivity, I'm just saying it is a plus.
@cefurst1 ..a life of slavery is definitely not a plus.. studying their natural behaviors alive and free in the wild is the best way for scientists to learn about them. Captivity kills.
LOL I will literally never look at myself in the mirror the same way again, for I will constantly be trying to mimic dolphins while looking at myself in the mirror
@jaksun93 a 3 year old kid can learn to do pretty complex things compared to a dog if you show the kid carefully. cant be at the level of 3 year old kid bro.
Oh my...this crap is so ridiculous. Give me a break people. WOW... a dolphin can "supposedly" recognize itself in the mirror. Wow it must have intelligence. Ok, we all know dolphins are fun, zippy, witty creatures. But lets expose this video for its true message: We r going to make a ridiculous link between humans & dolphins (oh, & monkeys) to brainwash u to believe that people r no different & that you are the same as an animal (evolution theory).whatever! Stop shoving ur theories on us CNN!
@JOHNLENNONWINZ It still does not match mankind. Let's see them develop an alphabet, read and write, Then get back to me to tell me how smart they are and how they are equal to humans (as this video claims). Absolutely absurd! What nonsense...
@azgirl777 Of course they won't ever be able to do that. Your way of judging the intelligence of an animal isn't well thought out. We modern humans have been around for roughly 150k-200k years. The first known written languages are roughly 5000 years old. Most Native American tribes never developed a written language at all. Do you believe Native Americans were all complete idiot 200 years ago? Do you believe humanity as a whole was stupid for the first 97.5% or so of our history?
@azgirl777 What are your qualifications for assessing the cognitive skills of other mammals, specifically? Yeah I know they haven't built the Hubble telescope or a Nuclear reactor yet....but don't be so quick to dismiss. Intelligence is not measured on a single line....
@JOHNLENNONWINZ Yes they do, but their intelligence in no way "rivals" that of a human. To say so is like saying a two-year old with boxing gloves on is a rival to Mike Tyson.
@shaolinmantis77 absolutely agreed!!!! This whole video is nonsense! But there are people out there that will go, "ohhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh wow...... that is so fascinating....." and never ever think for themselves! They just are spoonfed garbage and never think! Worst yet is they defend it and are blind as bats. I love dolphins but this video is chock-full of ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims, despite their so-called "research." What outrageous statements/claims they make...
They will soon start underwater tribes.

LOL I will literally never look at myself in the mirror the same way again, for I will constantly be trying to mimic dolphins while looking at myself in the mirror

@jaksun93 a 3 year old kid can learn to do pretty complex things compared to a dog if you show the kid carefully. cant be at the level of 3 year old kid bro.

Oh my...this crap is so ridiculous. Give me a break people. WOW... a dolphin can "supposedly" recognize itself in the mirror. Wow it must have intelligence. Ok, we all know dolphins are fun, zippy, witty creatures. But lets expose this video for its true message: We r going to make a ridiculous link between humans & dolphins (oh, & monkeys) to brainwash u to believe that people r no different & that you are the same as an animal (evolution theory).whatever! Stop shoving ur theories on us CNN!

@shaolinmantis77 They have one of the most advanced communication systems in the animal kingdom.

@JOHNLENNONWINZ It still does not match mankind. Let's see them develop an alphabet, read and write, Then get back to me to tell me how smart they are and how they are equal to humans (as this video claims). Absolutely absurd! What nonsense...
azgirl777 1 year ago
@azgirl777 Of course they won't ever be able to do that. Your way of judging the intelligence of an animal isn't well thought out. We modern humans have been around for roughly 150k-200k years. The first known written languages are roughly 5000 years old. Most Native American tribes never developed a written language at all. Do you believe Native Americans were all complete idiot 200 years ago? Do you believe humanity as a whole was stupid for the first 97.5% or so of our history?

@azgirl777 What are your qualifications for assessing the cognitive skills of other mammals, specifically? Yeah I know they haven't built the Hubble telescope or a Nuclear reactor yet....but don't be so quick to dismiss. Intelligence is not measured on a single line....

@JOHNLENNONWINZ Yes they do, but their intelligence in no way "rivals" that of a human. To say so is like saying a two-year old with boxing gloves on is a rival to Mike Tyson.

@JOHNLENNONWINZ Hell, in ANY kingdom!!!
Smarter than most humans I know...lol.

@shaolinmantis77 absolutely agreed!!!! This whole video is nonsense! But there are people out there that will go, "ohhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh wow...... that is so fascinating....." and never ever think for themselves! They just are spoonfed garbage and never think! Worst yet is they defend it and are blind as bats. I love dolphins but this video is chock-full of ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims, despite their so-called "research." What outrageous statements/claims they make...
azgirl777 1 year ago
@azgirl777 So you have done the research yourself?
You work with dolphins? :D

@sailornaruto39 I can assure you that azgirl does not work with dolphins, at least not in a scientific way.
