Another interesting snippet about dolphins and the Irrawaddy Dolphin

And finally ... about dolphins and the Irrawaddy Dolphin

Question:-How intelligent are dolphins? Answer: The short answer to this is that we do not know. 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. There are some indications of their potential: they are fast learners and can generalize (which is also true of pigs, BTW). Also they can learn to understand complicated language-like commands (which is also true of the great apes).
