Dolphin language, Two dolphins communicate with eachother

Two dolphins show remarkable communication skills, clearly demonstrating that they have a highly functional language for the first time.

the problem isn't being able to ask them stuff it's that we don't have a common ground with dolphins enough to be able to communicate like that. You can do it with another person because another person thinks the same way you do, but dolphins process their own communication in a totally different way at a fundamental level

It seems to me that if you can teach and ask a dolphin the create and execute a new choreography together you can also just simply ask them: "How do you say [something] in Dolphin?". Am I the only one who sees that?

Only Americans can call a dolphin BILL

A suggestion: The title of the video implies that the video is about the sensory event of dolphins communicating. The video actually has a different focus, so something like "dolphins are intelligent" might be more appropriate.

It disturbs me to see how little people know about how these dolphins are captured and the torture they must go through in being kept in a small enclosure after a lifetime of living in the open sea.
