When it comes to brain power, bottlenose dolphins are second only to humans. The highly social animals are known to teach one another to tail walk, to help fellow dolphins in distress, and to even carefully prepare their food instead of instantly devouring it like most animals. Now, a new study indicates that male bottlenose dolphins maintain unique whistles, or ‘names,’ to enable them to recognize friends and rivals within their social group.

    I LOVE DOLPHINS! They are so cute and fun to play with. I wish I had a pet dolphin. But it is best to let them be free. I want to hug these dolphins. So cute!

      Read the first sentence, 'second only to humans'. We don't ALWAYS have to be first!!!
