Q-2 Read the following page and make notes on it.
Dolphins are regarded as the friendlist creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about Dolphins, the more we realize
that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after the dolphin 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 the mammals be more
intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in
favour of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can tell us is the least story on the contrary the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we
appear superior when we destroy them.
