There is no reliable method to measure intelligence in humans across cultures, so it is not surprising that comparing humans, dolphins, apes, dogs, etc. is impossible.

Also they can learn to understand complicated language-like commands (which is also true of the great apes). Another Fact about dolphins and the Harbor PorpoiseQuestion:-Do dolphins have hair? Answer: Dolphins are born with a small amount of hair on their beak (nose), but in when they become adults, only the hair follicles remain.
