Question

Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea, stories of them helping

drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about

dolphins, the more we realise that their society is more complex than people

previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for

pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some

scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more

probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any

of there mammals be more intelligent than man?Certainly the most common

argument in favours of man’s superiority over them, is that we can kill them more

easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory, on the contrary, the more we

discover about these remarkable creatures, the lees we appear superior when we

destroy them.
