@Ajr5691 Again, you contradict yourself here, which is really pathetic. You stated that a larger brain proves greater intelligence, and a Pilot Whale's brain is larger then Man's.

Humpbacks sadly have shown little intelligence nor any adaptation. A Humpback recently died from eating plastic bags. Sperm whales may soon become extinct through their own efforts, so you struck out on all three of your remarks.

[Ajr5691]

@hitmann2300 Well, pilot whales arent the sharpest tool in the shed, but if it was a humpback or sperm whale, they would have outsmarted the whalers long ago.

[hitmann2300]

@Ajr5691 Pot tends to have that effect I have heard. ;)

[hitmann2300]

@Ajr5691 My POINT is that WHALES DO NOT ADAPT to situations. Humans, with intelligence, adapt to changing situations including that of changing a living room and walking through it blindfold.

Take the pilots whales that get hunted in the Faroes. If they were smart they would learn quickly to simply dive and change direction & go under the boats while still in deep water instead of letting the boats herd them into bays. The hunters on the boats do not use nets, they only herd them w/ their boats

@Ajr5691 Has anyone won yet? I'm tierd.

[Ajr5691]

@hitmann2300 once again creatures of habit. I have adapted to accept that some ignorent idiots think thier so much better than everthing else. Humans are creatures of habit to.

Example: if you took the same route through your living room every day, but one day closed your eyes you would clear it just fine, but if you move it around and close your eyes you would stumble, a whales eyes are useless at depths they rely on habits passsed down, if one thing is changed the stumble

[hitmann2300]

@Ajr5691 More of Watson's little lies quoted by you.

You cant have it both ways, if whales are so super intelligent then noise, and nets would have long ago stopped being a problem, they would have adapted.

Your very statement here only proves my points in regards to "intelligence" You would adapt to the situation, well maybe not you, because you seem to have no intelligent abilities, but MOST humans will adapt quickly to changing difficulties. Whales are an animal and run on instinct alone.

[Ajr5691]

@hitmann2300 unfortunatly whales are creatures of habit if one year, a net is not in the way that is a good travel route, but when the net is placed the whale does not think a net will be there. the small sive and holes in the net also render a whales sonar useless. As for them beaching it is belived by most that humans noise from underwater and boat sonar screws up a whales orientation and it beaches itself.

[hitmann2300]

@Ajr5691 And this is proven where? Paul Watson has no degree in Marine Biology, hell the guy is not even a licensed ship captain, yet claims to be an Admiral.

Brain size does not mean more intelligence, in fact most of what a Whale's brain does is to control the animal's heart rate, blood flow etc... so it can dive deep and stay under longer if it has to.

If mass was the factor, then whales could solve simple problems, like avoiding nets, not eating plastic, and not being herded into bays. :)

[Ajr5691]

@hitmann2300 The whales are smarter than you, smarter than me smarter than all humans, they just don't have the killer instincts uf us they form complex scocial structures and nurture there yonug for upwars of ten years. Consider this the sperm whale has the largest brian ever on earth.
